The Impact Of Social Capital On The Access, Adjustment, And Success Of Southeast Asian American College Students., Robert T. Palmer, Phd, Dina C. Maramba, Phd

Given that Southeast Asian American (SEAA) students are severely underrepresented in higher education and less likely to persistence to graduation compared to other ethnic groups in the Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) community, this study explored critical factors to their college success. Indeed, several themes emerged from this national sample of 34 participants from five public, four year colleges and universities. In this present article, we discuss one of the salient themes—the role of social capital as facilitators of college access and success. This article concludes with implications for research and practice.

Racial Microaggressions Among Asian American And Latino/A Students At An Hbcu, Robert T. Palmer, Dina C. Maramba,Phd

Research illustrates that the enrollments of Asian American and Latino/a students are increasing at historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs). Nevertheless, research on how these students experience the institutional climates of HBCUs is nonexistent; hence, we sought to explore the college-choice process and perceptions of campus climate for Asian American and Latino/a students at HBCUs. One of the salient themes that emerged from this study was participants’ experiences with racial microaggressions at a HBCU. This article discusses those experiences and concludes by providing implications for institutional practice and future research.

A Qualitative Investigation Of The College Choice Process For Asian Americans And Latino/As At A Public Hbcu, Dina C. Maramba, Phd, Robert T. Palmer, Phd, Denise Yull, Ed.D, Taryn Ozuna, Phd

Although research has shown that more Asian American and Latina/o students are choosing to attend historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs), no research has offered insight into what motivates students from these demographics to enroll in these institutions. Given this, we explored the college choice process for Asian American and Latina/o students at a public HBCU. This article concludes with implications to help HBCUs be more intentional about increasing the recruitment and enrollment of students from these populations as well as discussing future research considerations.
