'A Supportive Community Makes It a Lot Easier'

Students coming to ÌÇÐÄVlogÆƽâ°æ and, for some of them, living away from home for the first time can struggle with the transition. The transition can even be more difficult for LGBTQ+ students, particularly for those who have recently "come out." Ken Ditlevson, director of ÌÇÐÄVlogÆƽâ°æ's LGBTQ+ Center, talks about the many resources available at Kent to support them.
