Spirituality, Healing And The Whole Person: Reconciling Faith In The Transgender Community, S. Vance Goodman

Journal of Family Strengths

Abstract

Transgender issues have become a topic of common conversation due to recent events in government, the news and social media.

Students On The Edge: Evaluating An Academic Support Group, Benjamin P. Heinisch, Nicole M. Smith

This qualitative case study evaluated the effectiveness of the Academic Skills Discussion Group, a new retention intervention targeting undergraduate students on academic probation.

Data was collected from pre/post-intervention resiliency surveys, grade point average comparisons, journal-entry analysis and semi-structured exit interviews. The researcher conducted inductive data analysis by coding participant statements for meaning, calculating and …
