UNSW has taken part in the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras with the support of the Division of Equity Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) since 2017.
In 2019 the University's mascot, Clancy the Lion led a 'pride' of 80 students and staff. For the first time students designed and built the float. It was the culmination of months of work by students from the faculties of Engineering, Built Environment and Art & Design. See footage of the event and float.
