Haven

Haven is Walla Walla University’s official care group where LGBTQ+ students and allies can gather in a supportive, confidential environment. Through regular meetings, Haven offers connection for students who feel alone in navigating orientation, identity, and expression. During these meetings, participants build community through various activities, such as eating together, playing games, sharing stories, and watching films. 

Haven is offered through the Office of Student Life. As an official university group, Haven shares information and updates at advisory groups (ASWWU Diversity and Haven Advisory Council) and takes part in various campus events. 

Students interested in attending can fill out this form or send an email from their WWU email address to haven@wallawalla.edu. The WWU email address is required to protect the group from any possible harassment. A short conversation with group facilitators and/or student representatives before a person is invited to attend provides additional protection to the group. Once invited to attend, participants sign a confidentiality form.
