Allies on Campus Offers Seminar

The Utah State Allies on Campus is offering a seminar Monday, March 7, in the Lundstrom Student Center, located at 1200 E. and 1000 N., from 2 to 5 p.m. for anyone interested in becoming a member.

 

Allies on Campus is a network of faculty, staff and students committed to providing a “safe-zone” for anyone dealing with sexual or gender orientation issues. Allies on Campus strives to reduce homophobia and heterosexism on campus through education, advocacy, awareness and creating a visual network of allies.

 

The Ally Seminar includes an overview of the purpose of Allies on Campus, information on issues that gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender (GLBT) individuals may be facing, information on resources and referrals, interaction with a panel of GLBT students, questions and answers and an opportunity to sign a contract.

 

Those interested in attending the seminar should contact LuAnn Helms as soon as possible via email. Allies on campus will hold another seminar Friday, April 1, at 9 a.m. to noon for those unable to attend the March 7 session.
