St. George

The Positive Space Committee for the St. George campus meets occasionally to discuss emerging issues, respond to needs throughout the campus, plan social activities, and network with others to support the Positive Space Campaign.

These meetings are a gathering of students, staff, faculty, and librarians across the campus who are interested in supporting Positive Space and connecting with others committed to addressing homophobia and transphobia and making our learning and working environments more inclusive. Allies are pivotal to participating in the campaign and these meetings.
