Register today for Safe Zone awareness training

Mississippi State University’s Safe Zone Advisory Board encourages interested students, as well as faculty and staff members who have not previously attended, to register now for the Safe Zone LGBTQ Ally Training on Oct. 19 from 5:30-8:30 p.m. at the Colvard Student Union’s Bill R. Foster Ballroom.

Safe Zone is a campus-wide program that promotes a welcoming and safe community for LGBTQ students, faculty and staff. Safe Zone Allies, who have completed awareness training, are any individuals committed to providing and maintaining a safe and supportive campus environment.

Food will be provided. Participants also will receive a certificate, resource manual and Safe Zone sticker upon completion of the training.

Since space is limited, early registration is encouraged. The deadline to register is Oct. 14 by 5 p.m. To register, visit http://whoozin.com/F4Y-GPR-ARA4.

In addition to the Safe Zone Advisory Board, the training is being sponsored by the Richard E. Holmes Cultural Diversity Center, LGBTQ + Union, Spectrum, Delta Omega Lambda, Gender Studies Program, Department of Recreational Sports and Student Counseling Services.
