Question: How can an existing library instruction program be reconfigured to reach basic sciences graduate students and other patrons missed by curriculum-based instruction?
Setting: The setting is an academic health sciences library that serves both the university and its affiliated teaching hospital.
Methods: The existing program was redesigned to incorporate a series of seven workshops that encompassed the range of information literacy skills that graduate students in the basic sciences need. In developing the new model, the teaching librarians made changes in pedagogy, technology, marketing, and assessment strategies.
Results: Total attendance at the sessions increased substantially in the first 2 …

Leading To Change The World: One African American Woman's Journey To Positions Of Leadership In Predominately White Institutions, Leslye Rene'e Kornegay
College of Education and Social Services Dissertations and Theses
It has been fifty-seven years since the landmark decision of Brown vs. Board of Education was passed into law ending racial segregation in our public schools, fortyseven years since the civil rights bill was enacted into law, and forty-one years since the second wave of the women's rights movement. In my lifetime, I have witnessed many of the dreams that Martin Luther King Jr. wrote about in his famous "I Have a Dream" speech. While the civil rights movement did improve the quality of life for many Black people, the old Negro anthem "We Shall Overcome Someday" has not been …
Social Validity Assessment In Social Competence Interventions For Preschool Children: A Review, Jennifer J. Hurley
Social Validity Assessment In Social Competence Interventions For Preschool Children: A Review, Jennifer J. Hurley
College of Education and Social Services Faculty Publications
Social competence intervention studies published from 1970 to 2008 for preschoolers were reviewed for reports of social validity assessment. Analysis of 90 studies indicated that nearly 27% (n=24) of studies reported at least one measure of social validity assessment for: the goals (n=7), procedures (n=8), or effects (n=19). The methods used for these assessments were described including information about the participants, time of assessment and results. Trends in the rate of social validity assessment, methodological concerns and recommendations for further social validity assessments are discussed.

Use Of The Pyramid Model For Supporting Preschool Refugees, Jennifer J. Hurley, Saveta Saini, Rachel A. Warren, Alissa J. Carberry
College of Education and Social Services Faculty Publications
Response to Intervention (RtI) is being applied to early childhood settings for the support of positive behavior and social development through the Pyramid Model (Fox, Carta, Strain, Dunlap & Hemmeter, 2010). This qualitative study assessed the use of the Pyramid Model for preschool aged refugee children living in a refugee resettlement community. Many young refugee children have experienced trauma (George, 2010) and some experience behavior and social challenges (Almqvist & Brandell-Forsberg, 1997). Twenty-five preschool service providers were interviewed about their use of the Pyramid Model for the support of preschool refugee students. Themes to be shared include how ECEs are …
Integrazione Scolastica In Italy: Implications For American Schooling Of Children With Disabilities, Michael Giangreco
Integrazione Scolastica In Italy: Implications For American Schooling Of Children With Disabilities, Michael Giangreco
College of Education and Social Services Faculty Publications
This sabbatical final report describes the preparation, activities, and initial outputs of a three month sabbatical journey to Italy in Fall 2011. Over the past two decades, educating students with disabilities in inclusive classrooms, alongside their peers without disabilities, has increasingly become a focus of global attention and advocacy (Ferguson, 2008; Vislie, 2003). In part, this has been evidenced internationally through the development and ratification of the Salamanca Agreement (UNESCO, 1994) and Article 24 (Education) of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (United Nations, 2006). These international accords strongly favor inclusive education for children and youth with …

Listening To Their Voices: Career Development For Nontraditional Students, Mae Stephenson
Listening To Their Voices: Career Development For Nontraditional Students, Mae Stephenson
The Vermont Connection
Nontraditional students are a burgeoning population on American college campuses. However, many current support systems were developed with only the needs of traditional students in mind. As career-related factors often serve as an impetus for adults to return to the academy, it is vital for career services professionals to proactively develop and adapt relevant services for these students. The author provides an overview of career services, nontraditional student experiences, and the differences traditional and nontraditional students have in their career development processes. Additionally, suggestions are made for new and more relevant research as well as ways career centers can begin …
A Fish Out Of Water? Unpacking Access And Privilege Through The Lens Of International Intersectionality, Dirk Jonathan Rodricks
A Fish Out Of Water? Unpacking Access And Privilege Through The Lens Of International Intersectionality, Dirk Jonathan Rodricks
The Vermont Connection
Access and privilege, although universally applicable, are not nearly as universally familiar. The author shares his experience as a gay, Catholic, Portuguese-Indian, first-generation Third Culture Kid (TCK) from India and his journey to a higher education and student affairs administration program. First the author recalls his experience of being forced to check a series of boxes upon his arrival to the United States and the inherent assumptions and perceptions that ensued. Next, he shares his process of identity development as an international student and the challenges contained in reconciling those multiple identities within the predominantly White context of access and …

“Lift As You Climb”: A Narrative On Self-Empowerment And Student-Initiated Retention, Jude Paul Matias Dizon
“Lift As You Climb”: A Narrative On Self-Empowerment And Student-Initiated Retention, Jude Paul Matias Dizon
The Vermont Connection
Through a study on student-initiated retention projects, Maldonado, Buenavista, and Rhoads (2005) focused on the role of student agency and group empowerment and offered insight into how retention theory, policy, and practice may be reconsidered. This critical race counterstory will explore how my undergraduate experience was shaped by a student-initiated retention project in a way that contributed to my self-empowerment. I conclude with a discussion on empowerment’s relationship to retention and share suggestions for how student affairs educators may engage in student-centered and student–initiated programming to foster critical knowledge construction, community and identity formation, and leadership.
Asian Pacific Islander Americans And Affirmative Negative Action, Kristine A. Din
Asian Pacific Islander Americans And Affirmative Negative Action, Kristine A. Din
The Vermont Connection
With a focus on the Asian and Pacific Islander American (APIA) community, I begin by defining affirmative action and tracing its history and metamorphosis over the past 50 years. What once was a policy to support marginalized groups like the APIA community is now evolving into negative action – a tool to prevent mobility and access to higher education. Negative action, which stretches back to the 1980s, is a way for institutions of higher education to prevent the admission of candidates of Asian or Pacific Islander descent because of their rising numbers in enrollment and their accompanying perceived success. This …
Harvesting Identities: A Migrant’S Journey From The Fields To The Green Mountains, Amanda Flores
Harvesting Identities: A Migrant’S Journey From The Fields To The Green Mountains, Amanda Flores
The Vermont Connection
I am a migrant student. Growing up, I faced a multitude of challenges such as a lifestyle of mobility and the presence of stereotype threat. Migrant students travel with their families across state lines during the planting and harvesting seasons looking for menial labor work (Parra-Cardona, Bulock, Imig, Villarruel, & Gold, 2006). Despite these obstacles, numerous migrant students graduate from high school and successfully transition to college. However, existing research fails to highlight the ongoing struggle of identity formation among migrants. I use Claude Steele’s stereotype threat theory, Pierre Bourdieu’s social reproduction and habitus theories, and scholarly personal narrative to …
A Comparative Review Of Cass’S And Fassinger’S Sexual Orientation Identity Development Models, Jesenia Gervacio
A Comparative Review Of Cass’S And Fassinger’S Sexual Orientation Identity Development Models, Jesenia Gervacio
The Vermont Connection
As the student affairs profession continues to develop, it is imperative to remain aware of the changing demographics of college and university students’ various identities. Given the changing landscape of higher education, it is extremely important to take sexual orientation identity formation and its influence on student development into account. In this paper, I will explore Cass’s (1979, 1996) and Fassinger’s (1998) sexual orientation identity formation models and provide a comparative analysis of each theory. I will also identify how knowledge of these theories can inform the work of student affairs educators in creating more inclusive college and university environments.
Ethnic Studies: The Cyclical Fight, Conquer, And Struggle, Queena Hoang
Ethnic Studies: The Cyclical Fight, Conquer, And Struggle, Queena Hoang
The Vermont Connection
In 1968, the San Francisco State College Third World Liberation Front made history for the longest student strike in America. Armed with a growing self-awareness and a determination to end Eurocentric biases in the classroom, students of Color rallied in a five-month battle for the first School of Ethnic Studies. These were the first moments of making history and creating a future of stories and voices for those unheard. Forty-three years later, American K-12 and higher education school systems have come full circle with new legislation such as Arizona’s House Bill (HB) 2281. Ethnic studies departments are constantly caught in …

Graduate Colleague Mentorship: Meaningful Connections For Emerging Women In Student Affairs, Sarah E. Hoffert, Kailee Brickner-Mcdonald, Cait Bjellquist, Kristin Lang
The Vermont Connection
The Vermont Connection, at its core, is about people who invest in people. As aspiring and practicing student affairs educators, we invest in ourselves, in our students, in our colleagues, and in our research—research that frequently centers on the relationships among these groups of people. We invest because we grew from relationships with those who cared enough to do the same for us. We are the product of myriad connections across time and landscapes, knit together in our common experience in the University of Vermont’s Higher Education and Student Affairs (HESA) program. Intentional connection building is the purpose of HESA’s …
Womyn Of Color Leadership: Utilizing Differential Consciousness To Navigate Workspaces, Heather C. Lou
Womyn Of Color Leadership: Utilizing Differential Consciousness To Navigate Workspaces, Heather C. Lou
The Vermont Connection
Womyn1 of Color leaders working in student affairs face challenges navigating institutional roles while remaining authentic to nondominant forms of leadership. In this work, I explore the concept of differential consciousness as a tactic for womyn of Color leaders to navigate workspaces. Differential consciousness is a concept within U.S. third world feminism and refers to a social movement that provides spaces for womyn from historically underrepresented, underserved, and “minoritized” identities to address dominance (Sandoval, 1991). I propose Sandoval’s (1991) theory of oppositional consciousness as a way for womyn of Color to navigate political workspaces in order to embrace authentic, non-dominant …

A Foot On Either Side: Student Affairs And Transracial Adoptees, Sara Blair
A Foot On Either Side: Student Affairs And Transracial Adoptees, Sara Blair
The Vermont Connection
Transracial adoptees (TRAs) are a growing population within higher education. As the population grows, it is important for student affairs practitioners to provide support and space for TRA identified students to connect in their campus communities. The purpose of this paper is to explore important areas of focus for student affairs and higher education pertaining to the TRA community. The points discussed at the end of this paper are important for student affairs and higher education practitioners in the quest to serve multiple student communities on college campuses. My personal story is the lens through which these focus areas will …
Finding A Voice In The Academy: The History Of Women's Studies In Higher Education, Betsy Crouch
Finding A Voice In The Academy: The History Of Women's Studies In Higher Education, Betsy Crouch
The Vermont Connection
The introduction of Women’s Studies programs into the academy has been one of American higher education’s greatest success stories of the last 40 years. These programs’ foundation in political activism, focus on diversity and social justice, and collaborative learning environments have created academic communities for women to share their unique perspectives and connect their personal experiences with traditional scholarship. Despite internal debates about how the programs should be structured, what they should teach, and whom they should represent, the efforts of Women’s Studies faculty and students have transformed higher education’s traditional male-dominated curriculum. By examining the history, key characteristics, and …
Mattering, Marginality, And Black Feminism: Moving To Empower Black Women, Jilliene M. Johnson
Mattering, Marginality, And Black Feminism: Moving To Empower Black Women, Jilliene M. Johnson
The Vermont Connection
In its inception, American higher education exclusively admitted White males, while all other identities were denied access. Currently, admission requirements no longer discriminate on the basis of religion, race, socioeconomic status, or other social markers. With an increase in diverse students comes institutional responsibility to establish safe, inclusive, and supportive collegiate environments. Theories of marginality, mattering, and Black feminist thought are explored as they relate to providing support services for undergraduate African American women at predominantly White institutions (PWIs).
