Mission Statement

SAFE Zone acknowledges the intersectionality across the human difference continuum by educating and fostering respect for multifaceted personal identities (e.g., sexuality, gender identity, class, religion, ability status, national origin, cultures, creed, and other preferences). The SAFE Zone teams mobilizes campus-wide and community resources to assure physical, emotional, and mental health safety measures and practices. By placing a SAFE Zone sticker or button on an office door, backpack, or laptop, SAFE Zone allies signify that they are someone who will support and advocate for people with historically excluded, underrepresented, marginalized, or silenced identities.
