LGBTQ+ Allyship with Safe Zone
The Center for Sexuality & Gender Diversity has spent the last year rethinking the Safe Zone training program. It aims to be more useful to the queer and trans (QT) community across campus by encouraging participants to do allyship rather than be an ally. This shift has led the SGD to radically redesign the program from the ground up.
