Dissertation supervised by Professor Gretchen Givens Generett
African American matriculation into postsecondary education continues to rise, but degree conferral remains low (Hoston, Graves, & Fleming-Randle, 2010). Arguably, Harper and Hurtado’s (2007) research, as far back as 1992, stated black students and other students of color have dealt with alienation, isolation, and stereotyping at PWIs; this continues to persist today (Lee, 2018), which may interrupt the academic success of African …

Davidson Honors College Students Prematurely Declare Major Studies Prior To Entering College, Noah P. Hill
Undergraduate Theses, Professional Papers, and Capstone Artifacts
Choosing a college major is one of the most important decisions a student makes during the course of his or her academic career.

Advising As Literacy: A Cultural Capital Approach To Academic Advising In An Hispanic Serving Institution, Heather Smith
Open Access Theses & Dissertations
