Address sex-role socialization through creative programs.
Today's students receive many messages about what it means to be female or male. Encouraging students to reflect on these messages can help to further their self-awareness and identity development, according to two administrators at Colorado State University.
They are Chris Linder, assistant director of Women's Studies and the Women's Center and Ryan Barone, who recently received a masters degree in student affairs there and this month becomes coordinator of its Men's Project.
They presented ideas on how student affairs services can help students examine sex-role socialization at the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators (NASPA) conference in Tampa in March.
