This book was released on 2016-04-28 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Highlighting the voices and experiences of Black graduate students at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), this book features the perspectives of students from a variety of academic backgrounds and institutional settings. Contributors discuss their motivation to attend an HBCU for graduate studies, their experiences, and how these helped prepare them for their career. To be prepared to serve the increasing number of Black students with access to graduate programs at HBCUs, university administrators, faculty, and staff require a better understanding of these students’ needs and how to meet them. Addressing some of today’s most urgent issues and educational challenges, this book expands the literature on HBCUs and provides insight into the role their graduate schools play in building a diverse academic and professional community.

This book was released on 2012-08-01 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides context about the experiences of Black graduate and professional students attending HBCUs. Indeed, such research is important, particularly since HBCUs play a significant role in the number of Blacks who receive doctorates and professional degrees (i.e. M.D., D.D.S., J.D. etc.), especially in science and engineering. In fact, according to Redd and Minor (2008), the role of HBCUs in graduate education will become even more significant as more seek to offer graduate and professional programs, particularly at the doctoral level. This book focuses on the historical nature of graduate and professional education at HBCUs and the programs’ contribution to society. Further, it provides context about the experiences of students who have attended these institutions for their post-baccalaureate pursuits. Finally, the book addresses the future of graduate and professional education at HBCUs and what fundamental aspects are needed to ensure their survival, competitiveness, and growth. This book appeals to faculty, departmental chairs, administrators, and students. Furthermore, higher education scholars, who conduct or have an interest in pursuing empirical research on Black graduate and professional education or the efficacy and relevance of HBCUs, will find this book useful given its unique and comprehensive approach focusing on supporting retaining, and graduating Black graduate students at HBCUs. In addition, this book is an invaluable teaching resource for faculty in Higher Education Administration, Student Affairs, or Sociology program.

This book was released on 2016-06-16 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Student retention, engagement, and success are some of the biggest challenges that administrators and university leaders face in higher education settings. As financial support and steep competition pose an issue to student acquisition and participation, especially within Historically Black Colleges and Universities, it becomes pertinent that these academic organizations implement new leadership practices to assist in the overall success of the student, as well as the institution. Administrative Challenges and Organizational Leadership in Historically Black Colleges and Universities examines how administrations in Historically Black Educational Institutions utilize different leadership techniques to overcome challenges of student retention and engagement. Focusing on student development practices, organizational collaboration, funding for institutions, and support provided from faculty and staff within Historically Black Colleges and Universities, this book is an essential reference for university administrators, educators, researchers, and graduate-level students in the fields of education and sociology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is designed to illuminate the educational experiences of Black women, from the time they earn their high school diplomas through graduate study, with a particular focus on their doctoral studies, by exploring the commonalities and the uniqueness of their individual paths and challenges. The chapters of this volume newly identify key factors and experiences that shape Black women’s engagement or disengagement with higher education.The original research presented here – using an array of theoretical lenses, as well as qualitative and quantitative methods – not only deepens our understanding of the experiences of African American women in the academy, but also seeks to strengthen the academic pipeline, not only for the benefit of those who may have felt disenfranchised in the past, but for all students.The contributors eschew the deficit-focused approach – that implies a lack of social and cultural capital based on prior educational experiences – adopted by many studies of non-dominant groups in education, and instead focus on the strengths and experiences of their subjects. Among their findings is the identification of the social capital that Black women are given and actively acquire in their pre-collegiate years that enable them to gain greater returns on their educational investments than their male peers. The book further describes the assistance and the interference African American women receive from their peers during their transition to college, and how peer interactions shape their early college experiences, and influence subsequent persistence decisions.Whether studying how Black women in the social and natural sciences navigate through this often rocky terrain, or uncovering the extent to which African American women doctoral students access postsecondary education through community colleges, and their special needs for more mentoring and advising support, this book provides researchers and graduate students with rich information on how to successfully engage and succeed in the doctoral process.It also demonstrates to women faculty and administrators how they can become better navigators, guides, and advocates for the African American women who come after them.

Download or read book Exploration of Faculty and Administrators Perception of Enrollment Management Components at a Historically Black College and University written by Kimberly Taylor-Benns and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enrollment management structures, models, and activities have been embraced by many colleges and universities as an institutional practice. Some institutions, however, experience challenges to implementation because of a lack of human and financial resources, campus understanding and awareness. For minority serving institutions, particularly a number of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), this is the case. Shifts in student populations, policy, internal and external challenges exist. These challenges are evident at the HBCU (called Truth University in this document) where the current study was conducted. First, leadership at the HBCU questioned whether the financial investment was worth onboarding enrollment management. Second, there has been unstable leadership which impeded the critical decision making process necessary to support enrollment management. Finally, there was a question of whether enrollment management practices were an affordable and feasible option at Truth University with low enrollment numbers and constant staff turnover. This study examined faculty and administrators' perceptions of enrollment management practices at this Historically Black College and University on the East Coast. Purposeful sampling of a cross section of 124 faculty and administrators employed at the institution with direct and indirect influence on enrollment management was used. Data were collected on the various enrollment components including: marketing, recruitment, academic advising, career services, academic support, institutional research, orientation, and financial aid, retention, and student services. Survey questions sought responses to the existence, effectiveness and the importance of 54 individual enrollment management components at the institution. Additional data were collected on two additional questions regarding the perceived existing enrollment management structure at the institution and the perceived enrollment management structure most important to effective enrollment management implementation at the institution. With only a few exceptions, faculty and administrators exhibited an overall lack of awareness of enrollment management practices at Truth University. To the extent that they are aware of what practices exist at Truth, they generally feel that the activities are not effective. However, the respondents acknowledge the importance of enrollment components. Interestingly, there were few differences between the faculty and the administrators in these perceptions. The implications of these results for Truth University were discussed in light of these findings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faculty in five social science disciplines in four-year predominantly black colleges and universities were surveyed. Members of the sample of 1,168 faculty from 82 primarily southern institutions had advanced degrees in one of the following disciplines: economics, education, political science, psychology, or sociology. Attention was directed to their personal goals in undergraduate education, their perception of their institutions' objectives, their professional activities, ethnic background, and other demographic information. Findings include the following: most of the respondents were black; there were considerably more male than female respondents; most of the respondents were full-time faculty who held doctorates; the principal activity for most of the respondents was teaching; slightly more than half of all the respondents had published at least one article; respondents indicated that instilling the ability to think clearly was their most important personal teaching goal; respondents perceived preparing students for employment after college as the most important institutional goal, while research was perceived as the least important institutional goal. Appendices include: a list of institutions represented by faculty respondents; the study questionnaire; and results of 14 surveys of predominantly black institutions. (SW)

Download or read book Graduate Students Research about Community Colleges written by Deborah L. Floyd and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-05-14 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together a collection of chapters with different research designs that explore the research, practice, and policies of community colleges. The chapters in this book are the result of the graduate students and their faculty mentor’s scholarly work, and a rigorous special issue’s peer review process. Furthermore, this book offers recommendations on how to mentor graduate students, in the absence of research and mentorship on how to publish for graduate students and practitioner-scholars, as well as recognizing that graduate programs and professional associations are important on the socialization of practitioner-scholars. Each book chapter addresses the implications for practice and future research, policy for community colleges, and recommendation for change indicated by the research results. Five broad research themes, higher education policy, leadership practices and roles, network community, student success, and technology, emerged from the empirical articles and critical reviews. A final chapter shares advice and lessons learned from the 30 authors and mentors. With the exception of Chapter 14, the chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the Community College Journal of Research and Practice.
