2001
This year the Safe Zone Committee, comprised of students,
staff, and faculty from across campus, decided to try something different
and hold a celebration to formally kick-off this year's Safe Zone program.
The celebration gave us a chance to "come out" to the wider
campus community, and to do so in conjunction with National
Coming Out Day.
The celebration was a huge success!!!! Speakers included
Provost Robert Shelton, Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Dr. Sue
Kitchen, Student Body President Justin Young, founder of Diversions
Marcus Harvey, and Student Body Vice President Rudy Kleysteuber. Fred
Hashagen, the LGBT Administrative Assistant moderated the program. The
crowd also enjoyed performances from the Acordants, Tar Heel Voices,
and the Walk-Ons as well as slices of tasty rainbow cake.
This year, we gave students, faculty, staff, and campus/community
organizations the opportunity to publicly support the vision of Safe
Zone by signing the Safe Zone Pledge:
"I pledge to work towards making the UNC community
a safe and welcoming place for persons of all sexual orientations."
