Safe Zone Workshop

Join us in creating a safer, more welcoming and inclusive environment for members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ+) community. Safe Zone aims to build a network of students, staff, faculty and community members who are visibly and actively committed to advocating for and creating spaces of respect and inclusion for LGBTQ+ members of our campus community.

After completing this 2-hour workshop, participants will be able to:

• describe the role of the Safe Zone program (opportunities and limitations);
• use gender-inclusive pronouns;
• define key terms and identities relating to LGBTQ+ communities;
• understand how privilege and oppression create barriers for LGBTQ+ inclusivity on campus and in our communities at large;
• recognize the ways we can create a positive campus climate for LGBTQ+ students, faculty and staff as allies and advocates and
• identify the resources available at Syracuse University and the larger Syracuse community.
