UAA's SafeZone is a campus-wide program designed to increase the overall campus community's understanding and awareness of issues faced by gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, allies and other marginalized individuals (GLBTQA+) while offering a visible message of inclusion, support and advocacy. SafeZone became a part of the UAA community in November 2010, and now has more than 100 trained allies and 30 trainers, comprised of current and former students, staff, faculty and members of the Anchorage and Fairbanks communities.

All of our programs are free and open to all UAA students, staff and faculty, as well as the surrounding communities. For more details about LGBT+ History Month or the UAA SafeZone program, visit us at www.uaa.alaska.edu/SafeZone.
