Did You Know?LSU Safe Space logo

Safe Space Trainings 

The Office of Multicultural Affairs and the LGBTQ+ Project have extensively redesigned and updated the Safe Space training over the past year. The training identifies and educates individuals who will affirm and support all people regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression. The training covers numerous topics such as coming out, terminology, pronouns, as well as concerns and issues pertaining to the LGBTQ+ community. This four-hour workshop also explores local and national resources and how to be a better ally to LGBTQ+ students on campus.

As the Safe Space program continues to grow, LSU becomes a safer environment for LGBTQ+ students, faculty, and staff. If you feel that this workshop would be a good addition to your department’s professional development, please contact the LGBTQ+ Project within the Office of Multicultural Affairs by emailing lgbtqproject@lsu.edu, or call 225-578-4339.
