Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Retention and graduation have become major issues for the academy, as higher education finds itself under increasing scrutiny from governments, the media, consumers, and the courts. All are concerned with achieving greater diversity and access while controlling costs but not sacrificing quality--a seeming impossibility. This volume presents some of the best policies, practices, and procedures found in proven programs to achieve such goals, from both a national and a case study perspective. These chapters examine the topics from the perspective of majority-serving institutions (MSIs), tribal colleges and universities (TCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions (HSIs), and historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs). The focus is on a practical, proven set of ideas and practices to assist practitioners in all types of institutions to achieve the goals of their own insitutional and retention frameworks. The contributors emphasize that the key to successful retention and graduation lies in the professional commitment of the faculty and staff to these student-centered efforts, and they show how this can be accomplished through the programs under review. The volume also offers a practical set of resources, including Web sites and other electronic and print resources, to help practitioners learn about and adopt better practices. This is the 125th issue of the Jossey-Bass quarterly higher education report series New Directions for Institutional Research.

This book was released on 1996-08-05 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of the retention literature has focused on "at risk" students of color, especially freshmen whose admission has been facilitated by attenuated entrance requirements. Of course, this population of students has needs that urgently beg to be addressed; however, "regularly" or "traditionally" admitted students of color face college attrition rates that approach or exceed those of their "at risk" peers. Comparatively less attention has been paid to the academically able students of color who are avidly recruited, but for whom programs and services are noticeably lacking. This volume is intAnded to fill a conspicuous void: to provide ideas, narratives, and learnings that have relevance for the retention of all students of color but that can be particularly applied to the retention of regularly admitted students of color. The authors have tried to bring to the fore the work of individuals who are building state-of-the-art programs. Student affairs professionals need to learn from these practitioners' successes and insights how retention programs can become established and institutionally supported rather than remain peripheral efforts run on paltry budgets. This is the 74th issue of New Directions for Student Services. For more information on the series, please see the Journals and Periodicals page.
Download or read book Financial Tools to Build Retention written by Darrion JaySean Culler and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Financial literacy is a tool necessary for navigating adulthood, often overlooked when preparing students for college decision-making. Despite the lack of preparation, research indicates financial issues as one of the most significant concerns for student retention, affecting first-generation and minority students the most. The purpose of this study is to improve the financial literacy of first-year students at Texas A&M University-Commerce, a mid-sized institution with a majority-minority student population. This mixed-method action research study uses surveys and interviews to establish themes around the perceived financial literacy of students from a sample of first-year students, business faculty, and campus housing staff. The themes emerging from the analyses show a lack of knowledge and willingness to learn about the five chosen financial concepts and a need for progressive program-based education that includes campus-wide participation. The action plan resulting from the data analysis includes the implementation of expanding the current residential curriculum to include financial literacy learning outcomes. The residential curriculum process includes creating an interdepartmental task force including both faculty and staff, creating collaborative and progressive workshops, and meetings to collect and analyze data for the continual growth of the action plan. Success is based on student participation and feedback from surveys. Implementation of the first phase would take a minimum of two years. The first is to be used for development, and the second for a full cycle implementation. The budget for the implementation is low. Stakeholders involved in the task force will provide space and marketing for programs. The largest resource to manage is the time commitment of the faculty and staff implementing the action plan. This study involves a campus-wide process of understanding first-year students and their perspective on their financial literacy while developing a campus-wide method to address it. Challenges during this study include acquiring survey participation from students and faculty not participating because they believe their perspective was not valuable if they did not directly teach first-year students. The action plan can work, but support for the initiative must happen from the top down to keep the campus-wide community engaged to benefit the students fully.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thousands of black men died violently at the hands of mobs in the post–Civil War South. But in Brazos County, Texas, argues Cynthia Nevels, five such deaths in particular point to an emerging social phenomenon of the time: the desire of newly arrived European immigrants to assert their place in society, and the use of racially motivated violence to achieve that end. Driven by economics and the forces of history, the Italian, Irish, and Czech immigrants to this rich agricultural region were faced with the necessity of figuring out where they fit in a culture that had essentially two categories: white and black. In many ways, the newcomers realized, they belonged in neither position. In the end, they found ways to resolve the ambiguity by taking advantage of and sometimes participating directly in the South’s most brutal form of racial domination. For each of the immigrant groups caught up in the violence, the deaths of black men helped to establish racial identity and to bestow the all-important privileges of whiteness. This compelling and superbly written study will appeal to students and scholars of social and racial history, both regional and national.

Book excerpt: Student retention continues to be a vexing problem for all colleges and universities. In spite of the money spent on creating programs and services to help retain students until they achieve their academic and personal goals, and graduate, the figures have not improved over time. This is particularly true for minority students, who have a greater attrition rate than majority students. Demographic information shows that the minority population in the United States is growing at a faster rate than the majority. It is imperative that educational institutions find ways to help improve retention rates for all students but particularly minority students. Retention rates should not differ appreciably among different racial/ethnic groups."The Journal of College Student Retention: Research, Theory and Practice" is the only scholarly, peer-reviewed journal devoted solely to college student retention. It has published many articles on minority student retention, and this topic continues to garner much attention. This book is a compilation of the very best of these articles, selected on the basis of reviews by a cadre of experts in the education field. The articles discuss African American, Latino/Latina, Asian and Asian Pacific, Native American, and biracial students, and institutional commitments to retaining a diverse student population. For those interested in this vital area, the collection will teach and inspire them to achieve greater heights and pay additional attention to retaining minority students in our colleges and universities.
