Description
First-Generation College Student Research Studies brings together research from a group of dynamic scholars from a variety of institutions across the United States. This extraordinary edited volume examines the first-generation college student population and analyzes topics such as college choice, social experiences, dual credit on academic success, lifestyles and health status, and professional identity/teaching practices. The empirical studies in this book contribute greatly to the research literature regarding the role that educational leaders have in educating first-generation college students.
Reviews / Votes
In the past, much of the research on first-generation students focused on our deficits...While there is much merit in this foundational work, we have learned over the years that there is also another story to be told-the story of our strengths, of our determination, and of the deep sense of purpose that compels us to keep going. First-Generation College Student Research Studies does just that. I applaud the work of Dr. Terence Hicks and associates for bringing this important project to fruition. -- Pamela Larde, associate professor of research at Mercer University, IOC Fellow at McLean Hospital, Harvard Medical School affiliateMore details
