Perceptions of Campus Climate among LGBTQ Alumnx

Abstract

Abstract:This study examines the relationship between undergraduate experience and alumnx factors on perceptions of campus climate for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans*, and queer (LGBTQ) graduates of four-year higher education institutions in the U.S. Data originate from The National LGBT Alumni Survey, with 2,725 participants representing all 50 U. S. states and all Carnegie institution classifications. Findings from the step-wise regression explained 45% of the variance in perceptions of campus climate for LGBTQ alumnx. The strongest relationship with alumnx campus climate perceptions included campus climate for LGBTQ undergraduate students, graduation year, LGBTQ student services availability, and both membership and leadership within alumnx associations and LGBTQ alumnx groups.
