Safe Zone Faculty and Staff
The Office of Multicultural Programs coordinates the Etown Safe Zone program, a series of 2-hour workshops that help faculty, staff and students become more familiar with LGBTQ+ issues and experiences. During the workshops, attendees develop an understanding of LGBTQ+ terminology, history, concepts of privilege and identity development, and build skills for identifying and interrupting behavior that may be discriminatory.
Faculty and staff that attend enough workshops can become "Safe Zone certified" and receive a certification decal to display on their office doors or windows. This decal identifies dedicated safe spaces for LGBT students to connect with allies of the community. Below is a list of our most recent "Safe Zone certified" faculty and staff:
