Safe Zone
The Training
Safe Zone is an interactive, 4-hour training designed to help Auburn University work toward its goal of creating a safe space for all its Auburn family. It is designed specifically to educate faculty, staff, and students about sexual orientation and gender identity to create a safe space for LGBTQ+ students.
Individuals who successfully complete the 4-hour training receive a sticker that can be displayed in their office.
How to Sign Up
The training is offered multiple times a year through Human Resources Development (HRD), but trainings can be requested by departments, clubs, or organizations on campus. The training can also be broken down into two 2-hour blocks of time if needed. To find out when the next Safe Zone training is offered through HRD, check out the HRD website.
