Husky Ally Safe Zone Workshop (3 hours)
The UConn Safe Zone symbol, a Husky Ally sticker, identifies one who has chosen a life-long journey to be educated about sexual orientation and gender identity/expression, and has information about local and national resources. The 3-hour workshop offers a highly interactive learning experience about being an ally within and to the lesbian, bisexual, gay, transgender, genderqueer, pansexual, two-spirited, and others in the campus community. All sexual orientations and gender identities/expressions are needed to build a stronger ally campus community. Participants will find information applicable to their family and other valuable communities. After training, the Husky Ally sticker is proudly displayed in the workplace, office, or residence hall room. Continuing education opportunities will be provided to these Husky Allies. All members of the UConn community are encouraged to attend.
