Your LGBTQ+ Community: Policies & Initiatives to Foster Inclusivity, Engagement & Retention – On-Demand Training
|
| Overview |
Policies & Initiatives to Foster Inclusivity, Engagement & Retention
Laws protecting LGBTQ+ students from discrimination are under attack — there are three significant cases currently on the U.S. Supreme Court’s docket this fall to determine whether they will still have protections under federal nondiscrimination law. Your students and staff could find themselves unprotected and left feeling stigmatized and anxious about their personal and emotional safety. With nearly 1 million LGBTQ+ students open about their sexuality, it’s critical for campus program planners and policy makers to implement strategic initiatives to address their needs.
Gather your colleagues from across campus and discuss how to foster a more inclusive campus and practices to support your entire community, even amidst the legal and political uncertainty. Join our expert presenters as they share specific strategies to address the emerging needs in the LGBTQ+ student experience from Legal Sex X, classroom curriculum, foregrounding of less visible identities, admissions practices and virtual communities.
Your institution has an opportunity and a responsibility to reassure your campus LGBTQ+ community by putting practices in place that serve, protect and ultimately retain them. Create a campus climate that is safe and welcoming for all.
