UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones

This study uses data from the Baccalaureate and Beyond 1993/03 (B&B: 93/03) Longitudinal Study to investigate the issues that affect the likelihood of graduate/professional school enrollment of Black, 4-year degree earners.

Life Beyond The Haze: The Risks, Reasons And Rewards Of Dealing And Doing In College, Matthew Cecil '12

Honor Scholar Theses

This investigative series examines collegiate drug culture at DePasw University in Greencastle, Indiana and ancillaries. Manjuana provides the primary focus, although the illegal nse of prescription drugs, “party” drugs and other harder drugs is covered as well. Interviews include dealers and users, current and former students, law enforcement officials, relevant experts and others with connections to the drug scene at DePauw. These interviews, and my observations of these students, tell the story of privilege of protection at a small private college in the Midwest and its national implications.
