Family support is a critical part of college student retention. Given the strength of parental educational attainment in predicting access and persistence among college students (Choy, 2001), some have questioned the capacity for families to support first-generation college students.

This would suggest those faculties who provide developmental advising are more likely to receive positive advising outcomes. (Contains 2 tables.)
