1. Fostering 2SLGBTQ+ Student Success Across Multiple Dimensions of Identity,<\/strong> Development & Learning<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Description:<\/strong> Abundant evidence attests to the homophobia, harassment, and discrimination that gender and sexual minority (2SLGBTQ+) students face in university, yet growing evidence suggests that many 2SLGBTQ+ students thrive academically, personally, and socially. Drawing on theories of minority student identity development and student engagement and a mixed-methods study of 900 2SLGBTQ+ students and a four-year longitudinal study of a cohort of students who entered university already identifying as 2SLGBTQ+, Dr. Renn will demonstrate emerging conceptions of 2SLGBTQ+ student success across 2SLGBTQ+ and intersecting identities. She will use data from the US-based National Study of LGBTQ Student Success and an ecosystem approach to discuss the challenges diverse 2SLGBTQ+ face, implications for their development and academics, and the progress that has been made in promoting 2SLGBTQ+ student success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
