TIMELY: As the demographics of college applicants change, higher education will continue to see more and more first-generation students on campus. Despite the growth of this new majority, many four-year institutions are least prepared to serve the students who will make up a large population of their new admits. This book is particularly timely because it is centered on the voices, perspectives, and experiences of the very students that are least understood by these institutions
PART I: GETTING THERE: FIRST-GENERATION STUDENTS AND THE ROAD TO COLLEGE A Long Way from Home: Deeping our Understanding of First-Generation Students Strangers without Codebooks: Isolation and Marginalization PART II: BEING HERE: SURVIVING THE TRANSITION TO COLLEGE Re-Imagining with University: Theoretical Approaches to Serving First-Generation College Students Toward Community, Connectedness, and Care PART III: GETTING THROUGH: LESSONS FROM FIRST-GENERATION STUDENTS Rationale and Design for the Multicultural Learning Community Belonging and Finding Place Claiming Self: Identity and Academic Voice On Critiques and Possibilities
Offers readers a rich understanding of the experience of students who are first in their family to attend college. This book is a theoretically informed study of the lived experience of FG students and draws on their voices to demonstrate how their insights interface with what we, as educators, think we know about them.
