Pivotal Moments In Undergraduate Education: Retention And Student Connection To Campus, Katie Sikora

Masters Theses

Using qualitative methodology the researcher studied what pivotal moments keep students connected to their institution.

Does Being Greek Work?: An Analysis Of The Effect Of Greek Affiliation On Grade Point Average And Retention, Jade C. W. Jones

The Campus Ministry And The African American College Students' Experience: A Case Study, Tania Lacora Ward Jan 2017

The Campus Ministry And The African American College Students' Experience: A Case Study, Tania Lacora Ward

Masters Theses

African Americans surpass other ethnicities in their level of spiritual and religious engagement (Johnson, Elbert-Avilla, &Tulsky, 2005). This is particularly true for African American college students. This engagement though, may be especially important in providing African American students a path to academic success. According to Donahoo and Caffey (2010) "African American students remain committed to church involvement and religious practice, in part, due to the range of individual benefits and supports that those opportunities provide" (p. 79). This study investigated the role of spirituality in African American college students' achievement; to understand how and why they become involved, and how …

This study sought to understand how student veterans view their transition to becoming a college student. A small, but increasing, amount of studies have been conducted on this topic.

This study revealed that student veterans and adult learners share many characteristics and that by viewing the student veteran as a student in …
