Supporting Success for LGBTQ+ Students: Tools for Inclusive Campus Practice
Kilgo, Cindy Ann
National Resource Center for the First-Year Experience and Students in Transition
The newest edition to the National Resource Center's series on Special Student Populations focuses on supporting LGBTQ+ students on campus. Despite increasing visibility and acceptance in some spheres, many LGBTQ+ students continue to experience a negative climate on college campuses, presenting barriers to their academic and personal success. This volume explores the last decade of research on LGBTQ+ college students with an eye toward understanding their needs and the unique conditions related to their college success. The opening chapter offers useful definitions to help ground practitioners in the current conversation. Readers will also find examples of inclusive excellence and questions for guiding practice to promote a more inclusive learning environment not only for LGBTQ+ students but for all students on the campus.
Descriptors: LGBTQ People, College Environment, College Students, Barriers, Student Needs, Inclusion, Gender Issues, Sexual Identity, Social Bias, Language Usage, College Admission, Classroom Environment, Interaction, Student Personnel Services
