Exploring student engagement and gender identity

Abstract

Through an interactive presentation of findings from a new item about gender identity on the National Survey of Student Engagement, participants in this session will learn about the different gender identities of college students and how students with diverse gender identities engage in effective educational practices. Participants will discuss study findings and share issues their campuses face in identifying and engaging students with nontraditional gender identities. Further, session facilitators and participants will work together to create plans for making change in areas they can influence (courses, departments, programs, etc.).
