The programs include "LGBTQ+ 101," "Trans 101" and "LGBTQ+ Ally Training." There is an LGBTQ+ Ally training for students and a separate LGBTQ+ Ally Training for faculty and staff. 

"These are great opportunities to expand knowledge, raise awareness and help increase campus climate inclusivity for the LGBTQ+ community," Harless-Balmer said. 

Advance registration is required for all programs: at least two business days for the 101 programs and at least one week for the Ally trainings.

The program schedule and registration forms are available online. 

Before the date of the training, registrants will be emailed the location and any other specific instructions.
