Do you have a family member, friend, or even an acquaintance that is part of the LGBTQ community and you want to learn more so you can be an ally and a resource for this individual? There is a perfect opportunity coming up at UML! It is called Ally Space Training!
This training will provide information and resources to support the gay, lesbian, bisexual
and transgender (GLBT) members of our campus community. Our hope is to provide a
network of faculty, staff, and students who are prepared to serve as a resource for
students by training small groups at a time. Over 100 UMass Lowell community members
have volunteered to become allies, including faculty, staff, and students. You, too, can
make a real difference! Participants who complete the training will receive an Ally Space
placard for their office space or room that indicates that you can provide support and
resources for students who may identify as GLB or T.
