Ally Spotlight
I am an ally as I believe that love knows no boundaries and that two hearts being true to one another is the most important aspect of love.
- Dr. Wayne Young, Jr.
Assistant Vice President for Student Learning
The Creighton Allies Program
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) students, staff, and faculty have historically felt unsafe on college and university campuses. LGBT students, staff, and faculty may have fears around disclosing information about themselves, and need “safe places” on campus to go when they want to talk with someone in confidence about issues, fears, questions, and concerns. LGBT students, faculty, and staff may also feel invisible on campus and can sometimes find the climate uninviting or even hostile. These conditions often foil our attempts at fostering student development and growth. Our community of Allies is a way to reach out to and include LGBT people in all aspects of the campus community. At the heart is a campus-wide network of faculty, staff, and students who serve as the first points of contact for those seeking support, information, and additional resources on LGBT issues. Allies are not professional counselors; they are helpful resources.
