Ally Programme
What is the NUI Galway LGBT+ Ally Programme?
The LGBT+ Ally Programme at NUI Galway is a member based initiative working towards increasing the knowledge, awareness, and support of LGBT+ colleagues and students. In partnership with individuals and Schools/Units within NUI Galway and in the wider community, the LGBT+ Ally Programme aims to create a safe and inclusive environment for staff and students of all sexual identities and genders at NUI Galway and to advocate for a culture of equality, diversity, and inclusion.
The LGBT+ Ally Programme initiative is led by the Office of the Vice President for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion at NUI Galway. The LGBT+ Ally Programme is open to all NUI Galway staff members who support its vision and mission.
How to Become an Ally
To join the NUI Galway LGBT+ Ally Programme we ask that you first view the online introductory video above which explains the development of the programme and highlights what you are signing up for as an Ally. Once you have viewed the video, we suggest reviewing the Resources provided below and becoming familiar with the policies and procedures that help make NUI Galway an inclusive environment.
If you want to become a visible, supportive Ally of your LGBT+ colleagues and students, simply complete the online registration form:
Once your registration form is processed, you will be sent an Ally Information Pack with resources and visible symbols of your allyship. Your name will also be added to the available list of Allies. Regular Ally Information Sessions will be held to provide some real-world feedback from staff and students in relation to LGBT+ issues and concerns on campus, as well as providing Allies with a chance to ask questions.
We look forward to hearing from you and building the LGBT+ Ally Programme at NUI Galway.
