William and Mary Safe Zone

The general purpose of our Safe Zone program is to reduce homophobia and heterosexism on our campus and thereby make our campus a safer and freer environment for all members of the community, regardless of sexual orientation.  Faculty, staff, and students who participate in Safe Zone training are particularly equipped to serve as a resource for people seeking clarification around issues of sexual diversity.
