LGBTQ+ Resources and Support
Stevens is committed to creating a supportive and inclusive campus environment for all students, faculty, and staff members.
The Office of Student Culture and Belonging serves as the hub for support services, resources, and educational programming related to LGBTQ+ identity. We continually work to ensure that the campus feels welcoming and supportive to all students, and we encourage feedback and suggestions as we continue to offer resources and programming. We welcome you to visit the websites and links below and visit our office in the University Center or contact [email protected].
Safe Zone Ally Program
The Stevens Safe Zone Ally Program is a campus-wide initiative designed to educate Stevens community members on LGBTQ+ identity, current (in)justices impacting the LGBTQ+ community, and visibly identify Stevens staff, students, and faculty who seek to support the campus' LGBTQ+ population.
All faculty, staff and students are encouraged to attend a Safe Zone workshop in order to learn about important campus resources, understand how to better support LGBTQ+ peers as an ally, and build a more inclusive community. After completion, all participants will receive a Safe Zone sticker or magnet to display.
