ABSTRACT
As the costs of providing a quality education continue to rise, and institutions nationwide commit to increasing accessibility for all students, a university requires a comprehensive, campus-wide collaborative effort to address students' needs and to ensure retention and graduation rates continue to rise as well. In addition, as institutions reconsider the future in light of economic changes, reframing or revision of some campus structures may provide unintended side-effects, positively impacting quality of life for male-identified and female-identified students. For the campus professionals who work directly with our male-identified student population. Further, all these changes and new structures may impact student outcomes, particularly if cultural gender norms are openly debated, leading to change. Campuses are practiced in promoting study abroad experiences to their students, but the participation rates are lower for college men in global experiences. A campus Women's Center may be one of the most valuable collaborative partners in the support of the development of young male-identified students on campus.
