• In Event: Moscone Center North Roundtable Session 16
  In Roundtable Session: College Student Persistence and Completion

Abstract

Through a conceptual framework that is grounded in the reconceptualized model of multiple identities this study uses binary logistic regression to examine student characteristics, self-ratings and perceptions, and campus contexts and experiences to understand whether Queer identity has an impact on thoughts on dropping out and these characteristics and experiences impact thoughts on dropping out. This study has yielded results that show that Queer identity is somewhat significant when considering Bisexual and Queer identity in the 2018 DLE sample, it also showcases that there are differences in the experiences of Queer students of color through the use of 2 regression models.
