Safe Zone

Safe Space Logo

The “Safe Zone” symbol is a message to gay, lesbian, transgender, and bisexual students and colleagues.? The message is that a person displaying this is one who will be understanding, supporting, and trustworthy if a gay, lesbian, transgender or bisexual student needs help, advice, or just someone to talk to.? We encourage interested faculty to display the following symbol in their workspace to designate it as a “Safe Zone”.
