Scholars identify interpersonal interactions as playing significant roles in many developmental processes that occur during the college years (e.g., Baxter Magolda, 2004, 2009a; E. H. Erikson, 1997; Torres, Jones, & Renn, 2009); however, the intersection of interpersonal dimensions of college student development and trauma is scantly discussed in the literature. The purpose of this study was to explore this relationship and the ways in which experiences of trauma in college catalyze unique interpersonal tasks that are implicated in broader identity development processes. Implications of these interpersonal tasks are discussed in terms of both research and student affairs practice.
