Training and Development just added two new workshops for faculty and staff this summer.
Ally Training (formerly Safe Space Training)
This program provides faculty and staff with tools to become an ally to the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community. This training explores topics such as LGBTQ terminology, the coming out process, homophobia/heterosexism, transphobia/cisgenderism, straight/cisgender privilege and strategies for allyship.

Working With Transgender Students on the College Campus
College campuses across the United States are beginning to see an increase in the enrollment of students who identify as gender variant and/or transgender. We have learned much in recent years about the unique challenges facing transgender students and how we, as educators, can better support their personal, social, academic and professional success. Sponsored by LGBT Student Development, this workshop will explore the topic of gender variance, explore some of the unique challenges facing transgender and gender variant students and prepare faculty and staff with the information needed to create a more inclusive classroom and campus climate.
