His work focuses on LGBTQIA2S+ identity support, gender and sexuality education, and advocacy. Dr. Maliskey brings over a decade of student affairs experience working with student affinity-based resources and support centers. As a first-generation, LGBTQ+ scholar-practitioner, Dr. Jeff Maliskey understands the unique challenges that impact student success in relation to identity. His practice is student-centered and justice based as means to work towards equity and inclusion in higher education.
