Spectrum: Queer Student Alliance
As Utah Valley University's Spectrum: Queer Student Alliance serves as a supportive community for all individuals, no matter what sexual orientation or gender identity/expression they identify with.
This club strives to provide a safe social environment on campus, in the classroom, and off of campus for students, staff, and members of the surrounding community. To the best of its ability, the club will provide physical and mental health education, advocacy, and social support.
Spectrum's objective is to ensure that every student in the broader queer community be granted the same freedoms, opportunities, and social justices as all others at UVU as they pursue their academic goals.
Safe Zone Training
Safe Zone is about fostering an environment of inclusion for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, allies, and asexual/nonsexual (LGBTQIA+) individuals on our campus and in the surrounding community. The training raises visibility and promotes ally building.
