Positive Space Faculty & Staff Network

Who we are

The Positive Space Faculty and Staff Network is a volunteer-based group comprised of employees of diverse sexual orientations, gender identities and gender expressions, committed to creating and maintaining a safe, welcoming and inclusive environment.

What we do

The Positive Space Faculty and Staff Network consults and collaborates with various campus groups, committees and other community networks to build collegiality and positive space. Our mandate centers equity and belonging at the university to ensure the inclusion of 2SLGBTQ+ individuals within the broader university community. Our volunteer members also organize events to celebrate, educate, and raise awareness during Pride Month in June, in Trans Awareness Month in November, and throughout the year.
