Student Affairs Attrition
The field of student affairs has historically argued that professionals’ attrition from the field is not a serious concern, framing it instead as routine turnover. While scholars have acknowledged the potential organizational impacts of attrition, the topic has received little exploration. This work advocates for a shift in the narrative surrounding student affairs attrition, calling for a more organizationally focused approach
“Dream Big but Be Realistic”
We interviewed Texas rural school counselors in schools with students who are first generation and low‐income. Two research questions were addressed: (a) How do rural high school counselors understand students' college and career choice process? (b) How do school counselors expand or limit the college choice of rural students? Key findings include that rural school counselors focus on open admissions rather than competitive admissions. School cou…
Stop Skipping the Methods Section! Using the Methods Review Guide to Help Apprentice Scholars Critique Research Articles
Critiquing journal articles can be intimidating, especially for new scholars. Many new graduate students focus on the findings and discussion rather than the quality of the research. This methodology review guide is our tool to help scholars identify and evaluate a research article, particularly focusing on the methodology. Although there are some great books out there, we think a simple, short guide is less overwhelming to students. This guide i…
Exploring the College Choice of Latina/o Students in Rural Texas
Latina/o rural students are underrepresented in college and the research of their college choice process. Using Bourdieu’s habitus, and Yosso’s Community Cultural Wealth Conceptual Model, this qualitative study used interviews with 24 Latina/o rural high school students. Our findings explored how school habitus limits college options. Students use navigational capital when selecting a “good program” and rely on familial-capital, high aspirations,…
The Institutional Review Board (IRB) and Faculty
Institutional Review Boards (IRB) were instituted to protect the rights of research participants and due to past (and at times egregious) practices committed in the name of research. We question whether the IRB is currently overstepping its bounds into the domain of the researcher. We illustrate possible ways in which the IRB subtlety and not so subtlety challenge faculty professionalism and limit faculty research independence, highlighting some …
The First Year
Minority retention models have identified student needs that may or may not be addressed by institutional first-year experience (FYE) programming at Hispanic-serving institutions (HSIs). Qualitatively, this study examined Hispanic and Black first-year experiences in an HSI context. Identified themes included sense of belonging, career and major selection, and being held accountable for what they do not know
Early Coursework and College Experience Predictors of Persistence at a Hispanic-Serving Institution
Utilizing survival analysis, we examined two key first year courses, mathematics and English, and tested whether they were predictive for long-term student success as measured by persistence to graduation at a Hispanic-serving research university. While first math and first English courses were significant, SAT score was not for Hispanic and Black students. High school grade point average (GPA) was significant for Hispanic students but not for Wh…
Transfer Student Persistence at a Hispanic-Serving University
Success after transfer has been understudied, particularly with Hispanic students. This study examined the persistence of Associate of Arts transfer students at a senior Hispanic-Serving Institution. Using data from institutional records, multinomial logistic regression analyses demonstrated that loans predicted persistence and that grant recipients did not persist at a significantly different rate from nonrecipients. Grant dollar amounts were as…
