UPDATE: The Chancellor’s Task Force on LGBT* Issues will hold a Safe Zone training on Thursday, Mar. 21 from 9-10 am in UC 268. Please join us if you can!
The Chancellor’s Task Force on LGBT* Issues will hold a Safe Zone training this March. The Safe Zone program provides a safe, comfortable setting for members of the campus community to learn about lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender* identities and issues. All discussions will be strictly confidential and topics will be addressed in a non-threatening and non-judgmental manner. After the training, attendees have the opportunity to become part of a network of safe and welcoming spaces and people for LGBT* members of the campus community and their allies.
Those who want to participate in Safe Zone training should respond to the March Doodle poll. When enough people have chosen a time in the poll, a training will be scheduled and poll participants and the rest of campus will be contacted with the date and time of training.
Campus offices and departments also may schedule a Safe Zone training specifically for their faculty and staff.
For more information about Safe Zone training or to schedule an office or department training session, contact Cindy Konrad at konradc@uww.edu or at 472-7169.
