Trainings we Offer

DUE TO SB17, ALLIES TRAININGS ARE ON HIATUS.  IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE NOTIFIED WHEN A FUTURE TRAINING IS OFFERED- EMAIL US AT ALLIANCE@TXSTATE.EDU

LGBTQIA+ individuals have historically felt invisible or unsafe on university campuses. These conditions often foil attempts to foster student development and growth, to recruit faculty and staff, and to retain the diversity of the campus community. We offer trainings to help sustain Texas State as a safe place for LGBTQIA+ Bobcats.

What is it?

Allies of Texas State is a personal pledge made campus-wide. The pledge begins by attending a four hour Allies of Texas State Training.

Those who make this pledge aim to make Texas State a more inclusive and affirming campus for the LGBTQIA+ community. We do so by promoting awareness and understanding about sexual and gender identities, homophobia, and heterosexism.

While Allies training does not prepare participants to counsel LGBTQIA+ individuals, it does provide participants with information and resources that will help eliminate myths, misconceptions, and stereotypes often associated with LGBTQIA+ people.

Outcome

Any person who attends an Allies Training and signs and adheres to the Ally contract, automatically becomes an official Ally of Texas State. By becoming an Ally, you are part of a campus-wide network that helps sustain Texas State as a safe place for LGBTQIA+ Bobcats.
