Safe Zone

Safe Zone at Shenandoah University is a network of people who seek to affirm and support sexual and gender diversity. Safe Zone members are working to create a community that understands and honors the value of each unique individual. Safe Zone workshop participants receive Safe Zone stickers to openly display as a symbol they are allies who can provide support and resources to LGBTQ+ students, faculty, staff and campus visitors.

Thank you for making a commitment to learn more about sexual and gender diversity so that you can better support the LGBTQ+ community at Shenandoah University. This handbook is offered as a base from which you may grow in your understanding of sexual and gender diversity and a place to find helpful resources.
