Diversity And Inclusion: Examining The Lived Experiences Of Lgbtq Students At Historically Black Colleges And Universities (Hbcus) In The Bible Belt, Steven Jones
Dissertations

Organizational Stressors As Predictors Of Burnout, Kristen Albritton
Dissertations

Advisement Satisfaction Among Community College Students In Mississippi, Latoya Tamiko Jones-Reed

An additional aim of this study was to determine if advisement satisfaction is influenced by race, gender, non-traditional student status, first-generation student status, or on/off campus housing across Mississippi community college student populations. Students from each of the 15 community colleges in …
