REFERENCE allows you to create and manage references using the reference generator. Best of all, students can write a complete APA formatted paper from title page to references page using WRITE.

Safe Space Training is just the beginning of working toward a more inclusive environment. The world is in constant motion and that means keeping ourselves mindful of what’s happening outside of our often too-small spheres. In this session, we’ll talk about what it means to be an LGBTQ+ ally, what challenges and triumphs are happening now, and how we can transform good intentions into positive inclusive action. We’ll define safe and brave spaces and how we can implement these strategies at FSCJ, in the classroom and beyond. Haven’t taken Safe Space Basics and Ally Training yet? No problem! Take this opportunity to learn more about what we can do to support the LGBTQ+ community and become allies for FSCJ and beyond.
