SNC Ally Training Program

The SNC Ally Training Program is a network of faculty, staff and students, who are committed to providing support to LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning/queer) students on campus.

What the SNC Ally Training Program offers 

• Formal training on key concepts and terminology
• The opportunity to increase awareness and understanding around the experiences LGBTQ individuals
• Guidance on how to serve as a source of support
• Encouragement to partake in additional training, self-evaluation of biases, attend LGBTQ events, speak up to support equality and fight discrimination
• The creation of a network of Safe Space Allies (students, faculty and staff) across campus

How do I find an SNC Ally?

• Look for an 'I AM AN ALLY' sign. These signify the person has completed the required Safe Space training and has agreed to be an ally.
