EIU Safe Zone Project

Created to address the concerns of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and ally community at Eastern Illinois Univeristy and the surrounding area, the SafeZone Project is a way to reach out to these students and welcome them in all areas of the EIU community. Safe Zones are areas on and around campus where supportive people provide information and work toward the elimination of myths, misconceptions, and stereotypes.
