Safe Zones with Out/Ally CNM Employees
Out/Ally employees are CNM staff and faculty who are dedicated to providing inclusive spaces for students to talk about sexual orientation or gender identity issues. Many staff and faculty have completed Safe Zone Training or other trainings that improve our understanding of LGBTQIA2S+ needs.
The Out/Ally list below is in progress and not inclusive of all members of the CNM community who are out and/or allies. If you are a CNM employee who would like your name added to this list, please fill out our Out/Ally Addition Request form.
CNM offers Safe Zone Training in Workday for staff and faculty to learn about LGBTQIA2S+ identities, gender and sexuality, and to unlearn prejudice. Every Safe Zone member has attended at minimum a three-hour seminar and has agreed to provide a listening ear and positive resources or referrals.
Alongside Safe Zone Training, CNM also offers Transgender 101 and Transgender Cultural Fluency training in Workday to help improve your understanding of LGBTQIA2S+ issues and provide the necessary supports to transgender students.
The Out/Ally List
The Out/Ally List, organized alphabetically by last name, is updated regularly but does not include all members of the CNM community who are out and/or allies.
Employees on this list who are Safe Zone trained have an 'x' in the Safe Zone column. Additionally, when you see the SafeZone sticker beside a CNM staff or faculty office, you know you have found an inclusive space to talk about sexual orientation or gender identity issues.
