Mason Korea invites you to the Safe Zone Program! Launched in Spring 2022, we encourage the entire Mason Korea community members to join us at our series of workshops and thus creating a friendlier and safer campus environment.

This program consists of 4 modules: (1) Introduction to LGBTQ+ Communities, (2) Awareness Module, (3) Gender Module, and (4) Ally Skills Building Module. The primary mission of Mason's Safe Zone Program is to create a safer, more welcoming, and inclusive campus environment, to strengthen community, and encourage networking among students, faculty, and staff toward the goal of supporting the well-being of LGBTQ people.

We will be providing the introduction session and the following two modules this semester.
