'A Supportive Community Makes It a Lot Easier'

Students coming to Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ State and, for some of them, living away from home for the first time can struggle with the transition.

Ken Ditlevson, director of Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ State's LGBTQ+ Center, talks about the many resources available at Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ to support them.
