'A Supportive Community Makes It a Lot Easier'

Students coming to ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï State and, for some of them, living away from home for the first time can struggle with the transition.

Ken Ditlevson, director of ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï State's LGBTQ+ Center, talks about the many resources available at ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï to support them.
