Workshops for Faculty and Staff
SafeZone
SafeZone (facilitated by the Pride Office) provides participants with the skills to create inclusive learning and work environments for people of diverse gender identities and sexual orientations. We cover topics such as campus climate, campus resources, heteronormativity, the spectrum of sex, gender, and sexual orientation and relationships, as well as how these identities intersect with other facets of identity such as race, religion and nationality. Those completing the training receive a Safe Zone sign for their office to signify that they provide an inclusive space for people of diverse gender identities and sexual orientations.
Workshops for Graduate Students
At this time, we do not offer workshops for graduate students. However, the Education and Social Change team is available for consultations to discuss support and resources for graduate students. Please contact Ysatiz Piñero or Nicole Laverty to schedule a consultation.
