At Florida Southern College, we share a common belief that every student should be able to work, study, and play in an environment that is inclusive of all members of our community, regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, gender, or gender identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is our goal to make Florida Southern College a safe and welcoming place for all students, faculty, and staff. If you are an incoming or current student that is a member of the LGTBQ+ community, a parent or family member of an LGBTQ+ student, or an Ally, we hope that you will find these resources helpful in enriching your experience on campus. Should you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to Student Life. We are here to help you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you seen the rainbow certificates posted outside the offices of faculty, staff, and student employees across campus? This indicates that the College employee within that office is Safe Zone trained! The Florida Southern College Safe Zone program was created as a way to support and embrace our Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex, Queer, and Questioning (LGBTQ+) persons within the LGBTQ+ community here at Florida Southern College. Safe Zone Allies focus on building a community that listens, acts, and educates others. The mission of Safe Zone is to build a community of Allies who support and advocate for the rights of the College\u2019s LGTBQ+ community members.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
