The ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿C Safe Zone Coalition's vision is to create a safe campus community through cultural competency which is integral to a successful academic experience.
The ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿C Safe Zone Coalition training identifies, educates, and supports allies. Allies are individuals within the ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿C community who consider themselves to be knowledgeable about the needs of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Questioning (LGBTQ) and/or Undocumented people. Individuals who complete the training choose to provide support by displaying a sticker or lapel pin that indicates that they are an advocate and have cultural competence for those who are Undocumented and/or LGBTQ. By building a community of allies, we will foster and support greater student success.
Objectives
We live in an ever-diversifying society, and in order to be supportive and aware of different identities, perspectives, and experiences, we must pursue (and provide) opportunities to learn about different identities, perspectives, and experiences – particularly ones that are stigmatized, marginalized, and largely silenced.
