After our discussion on diversity and inclusion last night I wanted to share a program I help run with you all:
The Safe Zone program "exists to educate the VT community on topics relating to the LGBTQ community. Safe Zones are members of the program who are committed to providing a more inclusive and accepting environment for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning communities and their allies."
The training consists of one required overview course (terminology, the coming out process, etc) and at least one (but as many as you want to take) secondary course (either: Transgender101, NRV Resources and Allies, Suicide Watch and Prevention, LGBTQ History-Fall12, or Legal and Compliance-Fall12).
Here are the registration links to the remaining overview courses (they run for about an hour and a half):
- Monday, March 26th 10:00-12:00pm GRADS ONLY GLC-B (Graduate Education Week Event)
- Friday, April 6th 10:00-12:00pm in the Multicultural Center in Squires (Pride Week Event)
- Monday, April 16th 1:00-3:00pm in the GLC Room B
- Thursday, April 26th 3:00-5:00pm in the Multicultural Center in Squires
