It Is A Different World? Providing A Holistic Understanding Of The Experiences And Perceptions Of Non-Black Students At Historically Black Colleges And Universities., Andrew Arroyo, Ed.D, Robert T. Palmer, Phd, Dina C. Maramba, Phd

Robert T. Palmer, PhD

This qualitative study contributes an original holistic understanding of the perceptions and experiences of non-Black students (e.g., Asian American, Latino, and White) as they matriculate into historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs), persist to graduation, and reflect on their experiences as graduates at HBCUs. Findings from this study confirm, challenge, and extend existing research regarding the preenrollment experience, institutional experience, and culminating outcomes of non-Black students enrolled in HBCUs. Implications are offered for researchers, practitioners, and current and future non-Black HBCU students. 


Racial Microaggressions Among Asian American And Latino/A Students At An Hbcu, Robert T. Palmer, Dina C. Maramba,Phd Dec 2014

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

Robert T. Palmer, 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.
