Social Norms

As a guest, you play a large role in shaping the culture and experience of our office. The LGBTQ Student Resource Center of Auraria was created as an affirming space for LGBTQ+ identities. To allow the continuation of this, we ask that you abide by these norms.

• Hold yourself and others accountable for words and actions that impact others. This is a social space as well as a working office. Please keep staff and office guests in mind with your volume, cleanliness, behavior, and topics of conversations
• Get explicit consent and respect boundaries when:
  • Engaging in physical contact with others
  • In conversation with others on sensitive topics
• Everyone is at different points of understanding. Be open to others’ viewpoints and have empathy for others.
• Be kind- treat others how they wish to be treated.
• Your experience matters to us. Student staff are here to support, advise, and facilitate your time in the Center.

As we navigate the challenges of hosting a social space during COVID-19, please see the guidelines we have set to make our space safer for everyone*:

• Please avoid eating and drinking in close proximity to others.
• Please wipe your space down when you leave (Clorox wipes will be provided).

*These are just the guidelines we have put in place for our office. For more information on official CDC recommendations, please visit their website: www.cdc.gov/coronavirus

If you feel like a guest in our social space has violated any of the norms previously mentioned, please contact a staff member as soon as possible. Feel free to talk to us directly, or send us an email, if that is more comfortable.
