The Safe Space Training Program is a comprehensive 3 hour session and provides potential new allies with information on how to support the LGBTQA community. The training will include a panel of students who will share their experiences as members of the LGBTQA community.  Allies attending the entire 3 hour training will have the option of completing a Safe Space Pledge and being listed on this site as an Ally.  Allies completing the pledge will be provided with the Safe Space emblem to display inside or outside of their offices.

The school year at Wright State University has been designated the Year of the Active Bystander as part of stepped-up efforts to help students, faculty and staff respond productively to prejudice they encounter in their daily interactions.

The designation by Wright State’s Division of Multicultural Affairs and Community Engagement comes in the wake of the public and the federal government’s increasing calls for accountability in making universities free from violence, harassment and discrimination.

The Year of the Active Bystander will feature programs focusing on bias in the university workplace and classrooms, specifically implicit bias, micro-aggressions and stereotype threat.
