UMSL Safe Zone Mission
The UM-St. Louis Safe Zone program serves to identify and train
faculty, staff, and students who are sensitive and affirmative
to the needs of gay, lesbian, bisexual,
transgender, queer, questioning, and intersex persons. Our ultimate
goal is to reduce the incidence of heterosexism and homophobia
on our campus, and thereby promote a campus that is a safer and
freer place for all, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.
After completing a 3-hour training session, all Safe Zone participants receive a symbol which identifies them as being supportive points of contact for others on campus with questions related to sexual orientation or gender identity.
This website is designed to provide more information about the UM-St. Louis Safe Zone program and its participants. The site also includes links to other LGBT resources on the internet and in the St. Louis community. Thank you for your interest in Safe Zone!
