The ALLY symbol is a message to gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender youth and adults. A person displaying this symbol is one who will be understanding, supportive, and trustworthy if a gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender youth needs help, advice, or just someone with whom they can talk. An Ally is someone who respects all people regardless of age, color, disability, gender, national origin, race, religion or sexual orientation.
Diversity enriches our lives and increases our understanding.
Those involved in the Ally Program wish to identify themselves as individuals willing to provide a safe haven, a listening ear and support, especially for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender persons. This helps create a campus community in which everyone is treated with respect and dignity. Membership Any person who is willing to attend the training sessions involved is welcome. As an Ally, you will also be encouraged to attend monthly educational and social events. This includes students, faculty, staff, heterosexuals, homosexuals, and all who are supportive of the right of all people to participate equally and openly in the life of our campus community without fear of harassment or discrimination.
