| Abstract | To say that there is a need for social justice is to assume that there is inequitable access to resources and unequal distribution of power (Golightly et al., 2017). Resources are needed for LGBTQ+ college students to achieve higher success rates in their programs of study ("LGBTQ+" stands for "lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer or questioning"). Many students who identify as LGBTQ+ tend to have access to fewer resources; therefore, it is necessary to help these students recognize when they need help and how to seek out available resources as soon as possible (American College Health Association, 2013). The purpose of these convergent, mixed- methods, survey-based action research study is to understand how campus resources influence the academic progress of undergraduate college students who identify as LGBTQ+. Sixty-six LGBTQ+ identifying college students participated in the study. The study produced three major findings. First, campus resources played an integral role in the academic progress of college students who identified as LGBTQ+. Second, resources specific to LGBTQ+ provided adequate support for undergraduate LGBTQ+ students in the study, although some students desired additional support. Third, although many campus resources specific to LGBTQ+ are already available, some LGBTQ+ students in the study perceived a need for increased education and awareness on LGBTQ+ topics, safe spaces on campus, increased visibility, and recognition on campus. More research is needed. (As Provided). |
