Manage - View/Update Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation

Why We Collect This Data

We collect gender identity and sexual orientation information in order to better serve our students. Not only does this information help us to get a more accurate representation of LWTech’s student body, but it can also be used to identify additional resources for student populations, such as extra funding opportunities (grants & scholarships), student support services, and improved outreach efforts.
