1. You are being asked to participate in research which will be conducted by Sarah Driver, a student in Educational Leadership at California State University, Sacramento. The study will investigate the experiences of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and/or Transgender (LGBT) students in higher education and whether or not their sexual identity has affected their educational experience and their ability to be retained to degree completion.

You will be asked to complete an online questionnaire about your academic goals and your experiences as a sexual minority student in higher education at California State University, Sacramento. The questionnaire may require up to an hour of your time. You will be able to submit the questionnaire anonymously. Some of the items in the questionnaire may seem personal, but you may choose not to answer any question you do not want to.

You may find the questionnaire helpful as a reflection on your personal academic experiences and your experiences as a sexual minority student, or you may not personally benefit from participating in this research. It is hoped that the results of this study will improve access to resources for LGBT students in higher education and improve the experiences of LGBT students at California State University, Sacramento and other institutions of higher education.

You will be able to complete and submit the questionnaire without divulging any identifying information. This study is completely anonymous.
