"Allies are dedicated to open and honest communication about issues that concern us all without fear of reprisal or rejection. Being an Ally truly is a way for me to live a life of leadership and service as a spirited expression of my faith." - Dr. Penni Pier "I am an ally because my faith teaches me to honor the dignity of every human and to treat each with compassion." - Dr. Brian Jones "I joined the RESPECT Program as a sign of my support and acceptance of GLBT individuals and because I feel Wartburg has a long way to go before its claims of embracing diversity ring true." -Amy Anderson '06 "I thought the training very important since it created a space for people to meet others with the same passion for justice about this issue." - Jette Odgaard
Irgens "I joined the program for two reasons: I believe that discrimination against the Gay Community is the last fashionable prejudice. Also, as a non-athletic, small, and somewhat bookish adolescent, one form of bullying was to question my "manliness." I cannot abide bullying in any form to this day, including the last fashionable bigotry. My hope is the training taught me the wisdom to be a helpful ally to those in need." - Randall Schroeder |
