Q Center
Be an ally.
Safe Zone is a comprehensive allyship and advocacy training program developed especially for faculty and staff. Workshops are organized into two parts:
Part One: Covers the basics of identity, LGBTQ+ issues, and inclusive language
Part Two: Covers privilege and oppression, local/state/national laws and policies, and advocacy and ally skills
Note: Individuals must attend both sessions and complete the post-test to be Safe Zone certified.

Renewal
Stay in the know.

Note: If you received Safe Zone certification prior to spring 2020, you are strongly encouraged to recertify, as the training has changed significantly.
