Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Student Development

TU Safe Space Program

Sponsored by LGBT Student Development, this program provides faculty, staff, students and community members with tools to become an ally to the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and ally community. At the successful completion of the program, participants are given a rainbow placard to display, identifying their office or room as a "Safe Space" where someone who is supportive of the LGBTQIA people is located.

Training Information

We host half-day training twice each semester.  These trainings explore topics such as LGBTQIA terminology, the coming out process, homophobia/heterosexism, transgender terminology, transphobia/cisgenderism and strategies for allyship.

Trainings are listed on this site, as well as the Training and Development schedule on the Human Resources website for TU. 

If you would like more information about these programs, or would like to RSVP for Safe Space Training next fall, please send an email to LGBT Student Development at lgbtstudentdevelopment@towson.edu.
