Creating a Culture of Care

Abstract

Research on LGBTQIA+ students in higher education has grown in recent decades, but that research has largely not resulted in additional support for students who identify as transgender or under the gender nonconforming umbrella. Also, most research has traditionally focused on four-year institutions. This chapter, therefore, focuses on trans-spectrum community college students and what they feel administration, faculty, and staff can do to help support and promote this population of students on campus.
