Trainings and Department Consultations

Would you like your department to be more inclusive and educated around LGBTQ+ identities?

We would like to help! Consultations will be done over the course of semester and will examine multiple aspects of your department or organization to see where we can solve problems together. For example, we will look through handbooks, forms and other regularly used documents to ensure inclusive language is being used. We will examine everyday practices such as emailing, meetings and social interactions to see where improvements could be made. We will look at resources within and outside of your department to ensure they are inclusive and address the concerns of LGBTQ+ people within your department or students and staff that you work with.

We aim to provide constructive feedback that will make long-lasting structural changes that result in greater support and inclusion around LGBTQ+ issues and identities. Creating such structural changes will help CU Boulder reflect the inclusive excellence that we all strive for.

Safe Zone Training

Thank you for your interest in attending a safe zone training, now known as "Learning about LGBTQ+ identities and culture: Creating a welcoming environment.

You can watch the training at any time by clicking on the aforementioned title. If you are looking for a departmental training, we recommend that you have your team or organization first watch the training video and then consider having us come in to do a presentation about how LGBTQ+ students are doing in your college or department. We also encourage you to team up with us to do a departmental consultation where we can work better with you and creating a more supportive environment.

In the meantime, you can access Queering identities: LGBTQ+ sexuality and gender identity on Coursea. This training will give you a basic understanding of LGBTQ+ identities and how to create a more inclusive environment. We also encourage you to attend the Inclusive Community of Practice monthly meetings, where folx come together to learn diversity, inclusion, equity, social justice and human interaction.
 
We look forward to creating our training that will focus on CU specific issues as well as LGBTQ+ identities in the near future.
