Safe Space
The safe space program, Sponsored in part by BMO Harris, enlists allies from UWM faculty and staff to identify themselves and their space as a "Safe Space". "Safe Space" is identified by a 7" by 5" card that says UWM Safe Space on top, with a group of people surrounding a pride triangle below the text. Students and other university members can feel free to be themselves and talk about lgbt issues when in a "Safe Space." Please call the center or email uwm-lgbt@uwm.edu to become a safe space participant.
Support
