Safe Zone Allies Student Network Open in Spring 2022 for Students Looking to Engage in LGBTQ-Plus Allyship
Scan the QR code to go to HogSync (https://hogsync.uark.edu/submitter/form/step/1?Guid=1a974349-203d-4e59-bb5b-036fdd61564f) and register for the Safe Zone Allies Student Network!
The Center for Multicultural and Diversity Education, in partnership with Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), would like to inform you of an exciting opportunity for students at the U of A.
The Safe Zone Allies Student Network welcomes students of any sexuality and/or gender identity who are interested in and committed to addressing issues and topics of importance to the LGBTQ+ community. Students in the network meet weekly to learn about and discuss LGBTQ+ history, gender and sexual identities, community cultures and norms, the laws and policies that affect the LGBTQ+ community, heteronormativity and oppression, and more.
Through participation in this network, students gain valuable skills and practical knowledge that will help them in developing their LGBTQ+ advocacy and allyship. After attending four sessions, students will receive their Safe Zone Allies backpack pin, and after eight sessions they will earn a Safe Zone Allies sticker and certificate, which signify personal devotion to their role as an LGBTQ+ ally.
Students interested in taking advantage of this opportunity may register on HogSync, and following approval of registration, they will be added to the Safe Zone Allies Student Network portal in Microsoft Teams. This is where information regarding meetings can be accessed. Meetings are held on Zoom and in the Multicultural Center Classroom (ARKU 403).
Meetings will be held every Monday evening from 5:30-6:30 p.m., beginning on Feb. 14. We hope to see you there!
If you have any questions, please contact the Safe Zone Allies Student Coordinator, Karleigh Ferrell, at knf006@uark.edu.
