Fan Code of Conduct 
Read at home VCU athletic events: Virginia Commonwealth University and the Atlantic 10 Conference promote good sportsmanship by student-athletes, coaches and spectators. We request your cooperation by supporting the participants and officials in a positive manner. Disorderly behavior, including negative language or gestures regarding race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression, will not be tolerated and is grounds for removal from the site of competition. 
 
LGBTQ Partnerships & Collaborations 
The VCU Department of Athletics and the VCU Division of Student Affair work together throughout the year to provide LGBTQ+ resources and support to student-athletes, coaches, and staff to promote LGBTQ+ inclusion. Annually, several VCU Athletics programs host Pride games where student-athletes, coaches, and staff proudly don VCU Pride T-Shirts. 

Representatives from the VCU Division of Student Affairs are available during these games, passing out LGBTQ+ resources to fans. In addition to collaborating at Pride Games, VCU Athletics and the VCU Division of Student Affairs also partner to provide LGBTQ+ programming for student-athletes, coaches, and staff. During LGBTQ+ History Month, for example, a staff member from the Division of Student Affairs facilitated a workshop on gender pronouns, gender expression, and gender fluidity for VCU Athletics student-athletes, coaches, and staff. 
 
VCU Athletics also encourages student-athletes, coaches, and staff to take part in the Safe Zone training offered by the Division of Student Affairs throughout the academic year. For more information, or to enroll in the VCU Safe Zone Program, visit the University Counseling Services page.
