What is SafeZone?
SafeZone is a network of allies committed to providing a safe and affirming environment for all at Carnegie Mellon, including anyone dealing with issues of sexual orientation and gender identity.
The goals of the program are to:
- identify members of the Carnegie Mellon community who have pledged to provide a safe and supportive contact for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (glbt) students, faculty and staff
- provide educational opportunities that prepare students, faculty, and staff to serve as resources for the campus community
- provide a visual statement of support and safety for the glbt community
All members of the campus community – students, faculty and staff – straight and gay – are invited to join the network. By displaying a SafeZone sign in their work or living space, members of the SafeZone network actively show their support of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender persons.
SafeZone at Carnegie Mellon is sponsored by the Student Development Office.
SafeZone II will take place on Sunday, January 31, 2007 from 6:30-9:30pm in the Danforth Lounge of the University Center. All interested SafeZone I trained participants should email Helen to register. Space is very limited.
How can I become a member of SafeZone?
Membership in SafeZone is open to the entire campus community. To become a member of the network, you will be asked to participate in a three-hour training session, which is geared to help you become a better ally. Trainings are offered during the fall and spring semesters.
Once you have completed the training, you will be asked to display the SafeZone logo on your office door, or residence hall room, to identify you as a person who is safe to talk to about gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender issues.
