The 3-hour training session offers a highly interactive learning experience about how to create a safe space for UConn’s diverse community of gender identities, gender expressions, and sexualities. This could include, but is not limited to lesbian, bisexual, gay, asexual, aromantic, genderqueer, gender non-conforming, pansexual, two-spirit people.

All members of the UConn community are encouraged to attend: faculty, staff and students. If interested as an individual, please visit http://rainbowcenter.uconn.edu/huskyally/ to enroll.

In order to preserve a quality educational experience for attendees, pre-registration is required. A training session may be cancelled if there is not a minimum number of enrolled participants.

Trainings are held in the Rainbow Center, 403 Student Union.

The Rainbow Center is a UConn/Storrs campus spot to get a free and private Rapid HIV/AIDS test and a HepC test which allows for results to be known within the half-hour, made possible with the generous support from the ARROW (AIDS Risk Reduction Outreach Worker) program of Perception Programs, Inc., of Willimantic (http://www.perceptionprogram.org).

This test is free of charge and open to all, however there are approximately SIX spots available per day of testing! No appointments will be taken due to the need for privacy. Arrive early because testing is first come, first served. Numbers will be given out to individuals and people need to wait in the office. If a person leaves the office and their number is called, we can substitute another person at our discretion. If a person misses their opportunity to get tested because they need to leave, they can be tested on another day that we offer the testing.
