Abstract

This session discusses results from a qualitative study examining the experiences and isolation of Students of Color and GLBT students at a Great Plains University. Over 61 percent of respondents had experienced prejudice. In addition, students saw "minority" status as both an isolating factor and a source of solidarity.
