Regardless of where you are on campus, if you interact with students or other employees, you will meet people who identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Questioning (LGBTQ+).
Safe Space: Ally Training 101
is the first training in the Kent State University Safe Space training series, which is an on-going effort to make our campus and communities safer places for all people – regardless of sex or gender.
This training is being offered on the Salem Campus from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Oct. 7 in room 160.
Participants will learn about bias, stereotypes, current vocabulary and best practices for handling gender and sexuality topics with sensitivity. After completing the training, participants will receive “Safe Space Ally” signs for their offices, indicating their support of the LGBTQ+ community and knowledge of basic gender and sexuality concepts.
Having a basic understanding of correct terminology, and an understanding of what it means to be an ally to the LGBTQ+ community, is essential to supporting all people at the university, regardless of sex and gender.
