Dr. Kryss Shane has created an invaluable resource for higher education institutions to become LGBT+ affirming environments. She draws from her almost 30 years of practice experience -and the insights from her first two books on LGBT+ affirming K-12 schools and workplaces- to create a practical guide for faculty and administrators. The increase in LGBT+-identified middle and high school students means that colleges and universities who want to meet the needs of next year's students have to become LGBT+- affirming institutions. As Past-President of the American Association of Suicidology, I know that one of the best ways to reduce suicide risk among LGBT+ youth is to ensure that their learning environment is affirming and supportive. Whether your campus is addressing LGBT+ issues for the first time or fine-tuning decades of thoughtful work, Dr. Shane's text will help your college or university get to the next level.

On my show I Am Jazz, the world watched me grow up and then head off to Harvard. What many didn't realize was how much my parents and I had to research and work to ensure that any college I applied to would be inclusive and affirming of my transgender identity. The ongoing work of Dr. Kryss, including this book, Creating an LGBT+ Inclusive University: A Practical Resource Guide for Faculty and Administrators is not only easy-to-read and easy-to-follow, it is absolutely critical for the success of all current and future college students.
