The goal of this introductory training session is to provide a basic information about sexual orientation, especially as it relates to 冰球突破豪华版游戏下载 students, faculty and staff. Topics addressed include an overview of relevant terminology, the coming out process, and how to be an ally for someone who identifies as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer. Participants at this training session will have an opportunity to make a personal commitment to becoming an 冰球突破豪华版游戏下载 Safe Zone Ally - however, becoming an ally is not a requirement of this Level 1 training session. Please note: attendance at Level 1 is a pre-requisite for eligibility to attend additional levels of training.
 

The goal of this advanced training session is to explore in greater depth the experiences of those who identify as transgender. Attendees will leave this session with a broader understanding of gender identity and expression, both as they relate to institutional policy and to the lived experiences of transgender youth. Please note: Level 1 is required before attending this training.
 

The goal of this training program is to provide an interactive, engaging learning opportunity that allows those who are Safe Zone Allies to further develop their skills and comfort levels as Allies. Topics addressed in this training encourage Allies to move from being passive bystanders to active Upstanders within our campus community. Please note: you must attend Levels 1 & 2 before attending this training.

Name Changes 

A student's "name of record" at Williston State College is defined as the legal name under which the student was admitted to 冰球突破豪华版游戏下载. "Legal name" is defined as that name verified by a birth certified date, marriage certificate, passport, or court order. Students wishing to change their name in their official academic record from the name of record under which they were admitted to the university must submit a Legal Name Change Request in eForms within Campus Connection and provide the legal documentation stating their new legal name.
Upon receipt and verification of this documentation, the registrar will change the student's name in the student's official academic record. "Official academic record" in this section is defined as the academic and biographical information of an individual student contained within 冰球突破豪华版游戏下载’s computerized student information system (Campus Connection). In addition, minor changes in the name (e.g., spelling corrections) may also be made.

Suggested Course Syllabi Language
Do you have an example of a "welcoming and inclusive" statement that I can put in my course syllabus?
We have used the following statement on course syllabi. Feel free to copy and/or edit this statement to best fit your needs:
Because this class requires us to talk about aspects of our lives and those around us, a high level of respect for yourself and others is required. The use of discriminatory words and terms will not be allowed within this classroom. As students you are expected to have an open mind in this class and to expand your perspectives of the world around you. Remember to keep your sense of humor as there may be cases of disagreement and sensitive topics. Listen respectfully to one another and reserve judgment. Anyone who is unwilling to follow these guidelines will be asked to leave the class.
This course deals with subjects that many people find sensitive and highly charged.  Some of the readings contain strong language and graphic descriptions of violence and sexual situations, and some of the authors take political stances with which you might personally disagree.  Please keep an open mind both to the readings and to the views of your classmates with whom you might have differences.  Please remember that in a university classroom, you must be able to differentiate between emotions and personal opinions on the one hand, and reasoned analysis of the course material on the other.
