"The purpose of this organization is to provide supportive, social, educational, outreach, and community events, activities and opportunities for students at the University of Arkansas who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, and straight (GLBTQQS). PRIDE is a safe and welcoming place in which we focus on the issues facing individuals on campus, in the community and in society, who identify as GLBTQQS. The goals of PRIDE are to provide a safe and welcoming space and to create a more supportive and inclusive campus climate that encourages the success of all students regardless of sex, gender identity, or sexual orientation."

The Ombuds Office provides an informal, timely, impartial, and confidential means of conflict resolution to students and the campus community, and broadens the resources available for addressing personal and organizational concerns.

Coordinated by the Ombud, the Safe Zone program connects members of the University of Arkansas who believe that all students and people in the campus community should be treated equally and fairly regardless of sexual orientation. The Safe Zone website lists a description of the program, provides contact information for interested parties, and hosts a Safe Zone Participant Contact list. Library faculty and staff who are currently participating in the program include:

• Jeff Banks
• Molly Boyd
• Lynaire Hartsell
• Mikey King
• Megan Perez
• Kathy Riggle
