At the end of each workshop, participants will have the opportunity to become a Safe Zone ally for our campus.<\/p><p>Safe Zone allies are individuals who will:<\/p><ol>\n<li>Be understanding, supportive, and trustworthy if LGBTQ+ individuals need help, advice or just someone to talk to.<\/li>\n<li>Not tolerate homophobic and heterosexist comments and actions and will address them in an educational and informative manner.<\/li>\n<li>Have received training and can provide information regarding on- or off-campus resources.<\/li>\n<\/ol><p>We offer two types of general Safe Zone workshops for faculty and staff. All faculty and staff are welcome and encouraged to attend these workshops, including adjunct faculty and part-time staff. The basic training focuses on terminology, issues related to privilege,&nbsp;increasing awareness and sensitivity, and how to support the LGBTQ+ population on campus.&nbsp;The advanced training is for faculty and staff who have already completed the basic training and covers more advanced topics, including bystander intervention.<\/p><p>For any interested faculty or staff, we are offering a basic training on Tuesday, February 19 from 2 to 4:45 p.m. We are also offering an advanced training on Thursday, February 28 from 2:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. Registration is required to attend, and space is limited.
