LGBTQ+ Ally Training has been a cornerstone of inclusion and allyship at NIU since 1998 and has been led by the NIU Gender and Sexuality Resource Center since the Center's start at NIU. It continues to be a highly sought after training to the NIU and DeKalb community, and is a pillar of inclusive excellence at NIU. More recently, members of NIU's LGBTQ+ Speakers Bureau have provided a voice to the student experience and importance of allies in the training.
