They are dedicated to awareness of the LGBTQ students at Arkansas State. Faculty and staff dedicated to helping these students make it known by putting a sign on their office doors that signify that it is a safe zone for LGBTQ students. [1]
  As of Fall 2018, the College of Education and Behavioral Sciences Diversity Committee is discussing the possibility of including Safe-Zone training in the curriculum. They have reached out to SafeZone to see if there is an online version of Safe-Zone training for students to take as an option. [2]
  
  In February 2018, twenty-three people were trained in a two-day train-the-trainer program, where the National Out Alliance came to A-State and led the training so faculty and staff could become certified trainers. Those 23 faculty and staff members are now active trainers. About half of the faculty and staff members have led training since February. They have held over 10 training sessions since then and have trained at least 50 staff, faculty, and student workers (like the hall directors, multicultural center ambassadors, etc). [3]
