Allies of Texas State

Welcome to Allies of Texas State

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning (LGBTQ) individuals have historically felt unsafe on college and university campuses, felt invisible on campus, or found the climate uninviting or hostile. These conditions often foil attempts to foster student development and growth, to recruit faculty and staff, and to retain the diversity of the campus community. Because of this, the Allies of Texas State program aims to create and sustain "safe places," places where LGBTQ students, staff, and faculty can speak with an Ally in confidence. The program also seeks to include LGBTQ individuals in all aspects of campus life. The Allies of Texas State program is coordinated by the VPSA Allies Team.

The process of “coming out” at work—during the interview process, in a new work environment, to peers and supervisors—is fraught with many questions. Coworkers and hiring managers face these questions, too. What is it really like to be “Out at Work?” Join a panel of Texas State and local community members as they share their experiences identifying as LGBTQA in the work place. A moderated panel discussion will be followed by general Q & A. This event is co-sponsored by Career Services and Texas State Allies.  For more information and/or complete CEU or Extra Credit Verification online forms: Click here.
