    Sense of belonging in college is a precursor to multiple positive outcomes, but institutions consistently produce less sense of belonging for Students of Color than for White students.

In Study 1 we identify that the ad, when incorporating a self-referencing cue, enables consumers to easily generate mental simulation resulting in marginally greater purchase intention than that generated by the sam…

    A growing body of research has shown the positive relationship between student engagement and cognitive skills development among Latinx undergraduates at more selective institutions. However, despite the large proportion of Latinx transfer students at four-year institutions, they are relatively ignored in higher education literature. Using data from the 2012 NSSE, this study examined the effects of engagement on cognitive skills development among…
