The Kansas State University SAFE Zone program — Students and Faculty for Equity — in the Department of Student Belonging and Inclusion with Intercultural Learning and Academic Success, invites K-State faculty and staff to an advanced workshop from noon to 1 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 8, via Zoom.
Camilla Roberts with the K-State Honor and Integrity System will provide the advanced workshop and will focus on the critical services that the office provides to K-State students, faculty and staff. This advanced workshop is for faculty and staff who wish to learn more about the polices and procedures of the office and to become better allies for the campus community.
Please register for the Feb. 8 workshop.
Advanced workshop sessions include presentations from SAFE Zone partner offices, including the CARE office, Student Support and Accountability, Spectrum Center, and Lafene Counseling and Psychological Services, with a focus on faculty and staff rights and responsibilities. Attendees should gain knowledge of campus resources and communities and develop skills to assist students and colleagues.
SAFE Zone exists to provide educational opportunities and open and affirming spaces throughout the K-State campus where individuals affected by discrimination, violence, hateful acts and other forms of marginalization can go for support and assistance. K-State faculty, staff, students and community members can become SAFE Zone allies as a way to publicly show their commitment to understanding human difference, practicing inclusion and promoting equity across campus and community.
SAFE Zone continues to be part of the university's efforts to create an open and affirming campus since the 1970s. SAFE Zone is developed as a comprehensive and ever-evolving effort to fit the needs of current K-State community members. Allies become educated to help those coming from a variety of backgrounds and identities with needs concerning exclusionary acts like intimidation, micro and macro aggressions, discrimination, mental health issues or sexual and relationship violence.
