Health Sciences & Technology Campus SafeZone Contacts
One way that Virginia Tech supports LGBTQ+ students is through a network of faculty and staff who complete 15 hours of what we call VirTual Safe Zone. This personal and professional development opportunity consists of three 5-week intensive sessions with weekly readings, writings, and a live discussion lab. Learn more on the VirTual Safe Zone website.
Listed below is the contact information for those who work on the Roanoke Health Sciences and Technology Campus and have completed the 15-hour VirTual Safe Zone trainings.
