Student Life

SAFE @ Macomb

At Macomb, we foster an accepting environment for all members of our learning community, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression.

SAFE @ Macomb is our “safe space” program. It aims to make the college community safer and more inclusive for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) students and employees. 

• The program develops a network of allies through education, awareness and advocacy.
• The SAFE @ Macomb symbol is a message to LGBT people that allies are understanding, supportive and trustworthy.
• Allies commit to challenging homophobic and heterosexist language and actions in a respectful and informative manner.

How can I identify LGBT allies?

SAFE @ Macomb allies are college employees who have completed training. Upon successful completion of the training, allies are given a button or placard with the SAFE @ Macomb logo to display in their classrooms or workstations.

Allies at Macomb support and agree with the above mission statement. They strongly feel that students and employees of the college have a right to learn and work in an environment in which they feel safe and can be themselves.
