Student Development Office
GLBT Resources
Under the umbrella organization of SOHO, the Student Development Office coordinates a number of programs and resources designed to support the GLBT (gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender) community on campus, as well as to raise awareness about issues affecting the GLBT community.
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. 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. For more information about how to join SafeZone, contact Helen Wang via email or phone at (412) 268-9510 or visit the SafeZone website.
Student Development also provides advising support ALLIES, a student organization which offers programs and resources for people of any sexual orientation on issues related to sexual identity. ALLIES also serves as the GLBT and Allies social organization on campus. To learn more, visit their website.
Speak Your Mind is a series of monthly dinner conversations on current topics, including those related to sexual identity and the GLBT community. Visit the Speak Your Mind calendar for a list of upcoming dinners in the series.
In addition to these ongoing opportunities, our campus also celebrates Pride Month and National Day of Silence. For more information on those two programs, please visit the links to the left.
