EMU Safe Space

Safe Zone training is happening on campus this MLK day as part of EMU's first day ON for the holiday. Matt Hunsberger and Kathy Evans will be co-hosting this amazing training opportunity.

Attendees can take this two-hour training to learn about LGBTQ+ identities, gender, sexuality, and examine prejudice, assumptions, and privilege, and engage in self-examination to make the world a better and safer place for all.

It's going down in University Commons 211/212 (through the student life suite) the 11:15 training is open to students and a second session at 1:15 is open to staff.

Don’t forget to get out and VOTE today, friends!!!

Hey All!
We haven't been on social media as much this year, but we just drummed up a Snapchat and Instagram for the club.
You can find both at emusafespace 🌈

Hello my guys, gals, and non-binary pals!

This Tuesday (27th) we are going on a field tip! There is a poetry reading at James Madison University
from 5:30 - 6:30. Our plan is as follows:

(1) Meet at EMU at 5:00 and carpool over to Madison Union for the poetry reading.
THEN
(2) Meet for dinner (either Clementine’s basement or Ruby’s arcade?) around 6:45 after the reading to talk about what’s going on at EMU and strategize about the direction of Safe Space.

Please come to either or both if you can!

Calvocoressi is the author of The Last Time I Saw Amelia Earhart, Apocalyptic Swing, and most recently, Rocket Fantastic. This latest collection, which takes gender flexibility as one of its central themes, has received great acclaim. The Rumpus calls Rocket Fantastic a "beautiful book which asks the reader to live in a world where gender and language are both fluid and linked together in a dance which swings, sways, and surprises at every turn." The L.A. Review of Books calls it "startlingly discontinuous, thoroughly kind and streaked with violence, proper to a specific moment and alluringly out of time."

Chang is the author of The History of Anonymity (a finalist for the Glasgow/ Shenandoah Prize for Emerging Writers) and Some Say the Lark, which draws its title from a line in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Minnesota Public Radio included Some Say the Lark as one of the best new poetry collections of 2017 and Poets.org listed it as a Noted Book of the Year. Shelf-Awareness says the collection “is not so much about the pain of heartbreak as about love’s unstable foundation and the existential crisis that instability precipitates.”

Hello my guys, gals, and non-binary palls!

Finally! Safe Space is meeting again this semester once a week. Please respond ASAP because people are itching to start again! Please share this with your friends. Here is the link to the poll. Just request access and I will grant it.
