Why Should We Even Care?
Fully embracing one's sexual identity can be very difficult for students. It can potentially be just as difficult for college personnel with whom students struggling with their sexual identity choose to confide.
This can be particularly true when the sexual identity assumed is not the accepted "norm."
Why is the development of sexual identity important for college students?
How can we, as higher education leaders, help in that development?
• Your initial post (approximately 200 to 250 words) should address each question in the discussion.
