SAFE-on-campus
SAFE-on-campus is a program for people who wish to help others with diversity issues. First you have to attend a training session given by the Counseling and Psychological Services at Ball State. Then, all SAFE members receive a yellow sign to be displayed on their door that recognizes them as a trustworthy person you can confide in. This is a great training program for hall directors, RA's, professors, or anyone who deals with students on a regular basis. If you wish to be in the program, contact any of our executive members for more information.
