Fresno State LGBTQ+Allies

Fresno State Allies

Below is a list of individuals that have completed the Fresno State Safe Zone program within the last academic year. They are recognized as an Ally to the LGBTQ+ community and have taken steps to familiarize themselves with issues and concerns that can affect the community, and how to best advocate for them. They can serve as a resource for other campus constituents for information and referrals, or maybe just someone to reach out and have coffee with.

For requirements of the program, please click the Safe Zone link in the side bar.
