Safe Space Trainings

º£½ÇÉçÇø hosts Safe Space training sessions throughout the academic year. These trainings, open to students and employees, aim to educate participants on the LGBTQ+ community, the differences between gender and sexuality, and how to become active allies for the community. In doing so, we support environments of inclusivity and respect in and out of the classroom.

Additional Trainings and Resources

Equity, Diversity & Belonging offers numerous training sessions held across the academic year. Sessions, including EDB 101 and Navigating Difficult Conversations, are facilitated to share key skills and lessons surrounding diversity to students and employees alike.
