Back in October, Stephens celebrated "National Coming Out Day". Along with passing out rainbow ribbons and literature, students passed out signs that read "STEPHENS COLLEGE SAFE ZONE", with a pink triangle on them. Practically every colege office except the bookstore put one on their door, which marked them as safe places that students could go to talk sexual identity and be treated fairly. Read More »
