Students coming to С»ÆƬÊÓƵ 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 С»ÆƬÊÓƵ's LGBTQ+ Center, talks about the many resources available at Kent to support them.
