As Millennial generation students, born between 1982 and 2003 (Howe & Strauss, 2000), attend college, unique characteristics are present. Commonalities within the Millennial generation have been identified; however, socioeconomic status can impact a student's ability to demonstrate these characteristics of the Millennial generation (Ramsey, 2008). Socioeconomic status still remains the greatest predictor of college aspirations but can prohibit some Millennial students from the opportunity to attend college (Greene, Huerta, & Richards, 2007). This qualitative study investigated the lived experiences of low socioeconomic Millennial generation college students. Bourdieu's (1977; Bourdieu & Passeron, 1977, 1990) Cultural Capital Theory was used as the framework to address four research questions regarding knowledge of college, academic experiences, types of support, and collegiate involvement. Research questions were developed utilizing a phenomenological methodology consisting of two semi-structured interviews with open-ended interview questions as the primary data source. Through the analysis of the participant interviews, themes of their lived experiences as a low socioeconomic status Millennial generation college student emerged. Participants shared that their families lacked knowledge and information about college although they encouraged and supported them and understood the importance of a college degree. Although the educational experiences of the participants varied, most encountered challenges transitioning from high school to college. The most important educational experience for the participants is obtaining a college degree, greatly impacting their future. Although self-supportive for most of their lives, attending college is possible through the financial support of the 21st Century Scholars Program. This financial support and the support of their collegiate friends going through similar experiences have been important. Involvement in collegiate activities was important for the participants' future careers, relationships, and learning; however, they sought these opportunities on their own. This research supports and encourages student affairs practitioners to enhance and improve the services and support provided to low socioeconomic status students in the college community. In addition, this study supports the need for more research related to socioeconomic status within higher education as well as reexamining student development theories to take into consideration socioeconomic status.

Book excerpt: The Impact of Food Insecurity on First-Generation Female Higher Education Students seeks to emphasize the importance of mattering, belonging and effective student resources in the lives of first-generation women college students. They face unique obstacles that if not adequately addressed could impact their retention and persistence. Success in higher education relies on access to resources, connection, and a sense of meaning and purpose. Based on a yearlong qualitative study the book highlights the ways in which access to student resources, mattering and marginalization frame larger issues including mental health and food and housing insecurities. Interviewing both students and staff provides a window into Riverside's campus climate and solidifies the importance of positive interactions. First-generation women striving to matter explain a need for faculty that understand their strengths, staff that encourage them to ask for assistance, and peers that invite them to join the conversation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While many institutions have developed policies to address the myriad needs of Millennial college students and their parents, inherent in many of these initiatives is the underlying assumption that this student population is a homogeneous group. This book is significant because it addresses and explores the characteristics and experiences of Millennials from an array of perspectives, taking into account not only racial and ethnic identity but also cultural background, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status differences—all factors contributing to how these students interface with academe.In providing a “voice” to “voiceless” populations of African American, Asian American, Bi/Multi-Racial, Latino, Native American, and LGBT millennial college students, this book engages with such questions as: Does the term “Millennial” apply to these under-represented students? What role does technology, pop culture, sexual orientation, and race politics play in the identity development for these populations? Do our current minority development theories apply to these groups? And, ultimately, are higher education institutions prepared to meet both the cultural and developmental needs of diverse minority groups of Millennial college students?” This book is addressed primarily to college and university administrators and faculty members who seek greater depth and understanding of the issues associated with diverse Millennial college student populations. This book informs readers about the ways in which this cohort differs from their majority counterparts to open a dialogue about how faculty members and administrators can meet their needs effectively both inside and outside the classroom. It will also be of value to student affairs personnel, students enrolled in graduate level courses in higher education and other social science courses that explore issues of college student development and diversity, particularly students planning to work with diverse Millennial college students in both clinical or practical work settings.Contributors: Rosie Maria Banda; Fred Bonner, II; Lonnie Booker, Jr.; Brian Brayboy; Mitchell Chang; Andrea Domingue; Tonya Driver; Alonzo M.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These values and attitudes also were evident in students' practices and behaviors (e.g., their judicious spending habits, their long hours working for pay). It also became clear that the long hours most participants in this study worked in order to afford college meant missing out on opportunities for involvement in activities outside of the classroom. Finally, participants' experiences interacting with their high SES peers played a pivotal role in their awareness of their social class during college. Participants were often frustrated by the attitudes, values, and behaviors of their higher SES peers, and for some, these social class differences led to social isolation. Overall, these findings illuminate a variety of issues and areas for concern, directly related to social class, experienced by low-income, first-generation college students in higher education.

Book excerpt: African American college men have been the subjects of numerous research studies for over a decade; consequently, it would seem that educators have greater insight into these students' experiences than those of any other racial or ethnic group. However, little of this research focuses specifically on the lived experiences of low-income, first-generation African American men at highly selective research institutions. This qualitative study employed narrative inquiry to introduce readers to the lives, realities, aspirations, and hopes of four students at Duke University, Princeton University, Stanford University, and the University of Pennsylvania in order to provide institutional policymakers, university faculty members, administrators, and students with deeply textured and personal insights into the experiences of the men in this demographic. To analyze this qualitative data, I applied a number of critical frameworks and theoretical approaches, including the Anti-Deficit Achievement Framework (Harper, 2012a), Self-Efficacy Theory (Bandura, 1997), Dewey's seminal work on Education and Experience (1938), and other theoretical perspectives on financial, human, social, cultural, and academic capital. The study drew several conclusions, including: 1) the dominant cultural narrative about Black men in higher education elides their real experiences and instead reinforces negative stereotypes; 2) not all first-generation, low-income Black males at highly selective universities are the same; 3) race and class intersect with other identities to complicate the experiences of first-generation, low-income African American male students; 4) not enough is known about low-income, first-generation students of color; 5) financial support is critical for this student population; and 6) co-curricular experiences powerfully shape these students' success in college and beyond. The findings suggest several practical implications for those interested in the success of these students, whether at elite or other types of institutions. In particular, this study offers recommendations for both the students in this demographic and their families, and it synthesizes crucial points for educators and administrators at elite institutions.

This book was released on 2018-06-07 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clearing the Path for First-Generation College Students comprises a wide range of studies that explore the multidimensional social processes and meanings germane to the experiences of first-generation college students before and during their matriculation into institutions of higher education. The chapters offer timely, empirical examinations of the ways that these students negotiate experiences shaped by structural inequities in higher education institutions and the pathways that lead to them. This volume provides insight into the dilemmas that arise from the transformation of students’ class identities in pursuit of upward mobility, as well as their quest for community and a sense of “belonging” on college campuses that have not been historically designed for them. While centering first-generation status, this collection also critically engages the ways in which other dimensions of social identity intersect to inform students’ educational experiences in relation to dynamics of race, ethnicity, socioeconomic class, gender, and immigration. Additionally, this book takes a holistic approach by exploring the ways in which first-generation college students are influenced by, and engage with, their families and communities of origin as they undertake their educational careers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Say Hello to Your Incoming Class—They're Not Millennials Anymore Generation Z is rapidly replacing Millennials on college campuses. Those born from 1995 through 2010 have different motivations, learning styles, characteristics, skill sets, and social concerns than previous generations. Unlike Millennials, Generation Z students grew up in a recession and are under no illusions about their prospects for employment after college. While skeptical about the cost and value of higher education, they are also entrepreneurial, innovative, and independent learners concerned with effecting social change. Understanding Generation Z's mindset and goals is paramount to supporting, developing, and educating them through higher education. Generation Z Goes to College showcases findings from an in-depth study of over 1,100 Generation Z college students from 15 vastly different U.S. higher education institutions as well as additional studies from youth, market, and education research related to this generation. Authors Corey Seemiller and Meghan Grace provide interpretations, implications, and recommendations for program, process, and curriculum changes that will maximize the educational impact on Generation Z students. Generation Z Goes to College is the first book on how this up-and-coming generation will change higher education.

Book excerpt: Shared experiences of academically successful first-generation, low-socioeconomic college students were examined using narrative inquiry. All participants were single females. All participants attended college immediately after high school but dropped out. They all returned and became the first in their family to complete a college degree. One was traditional age while all other study participants were single mothers over the age of thirty with two or more children. Participants self-identified as White, Asian-American and Haitian-American. The study uncovered that support from family, financially or emotionally, was mostly non-existent. However, all participants wanted the ability to offer their children the educational opportunities their parents were unable to provide them. The findings validated the importance of social programs, from childcare vouchers to tuition free classes, for the participants. Additionally, all participants intentionally and creatively balanced time and resources to manage childcare and to provide time for work. Implementing a program into the public school curriculum, as early as elementary school, that exposes students to college life may lay the foundation for conversations regarding college academic expectations. Providing information regarding federal, state and local social programs conveys awareness to students on where to look for assistance beyond the institution.

Book excerpt: The current socio-political moment—rife with racial tensions and overt bigotry—has exacerbated longstanding racial inequities in higher education. While educational scholars have developed conceptual tools and offered data-informed recommendations for rooting out racism in campus policies and practices, this work is largely inaccessible to the public. At the same time, practitioners and policymakers are increasingly called on to implement quick solutions to what are, in fact, profound, structural problems. Racial Equity on College Campuses bridges this gap, marshaling the expertise of nineteen scholars and practitioners to translate research-based findings into actionable recommendations in three key areas: university leadership, teaching and learning, and student and campus life. The strategies gathered here will prove useful to institutional actors engaged in both real-time and long-term decision-making across contexts—from the classroom to the boardroom.

Book excerpt: A phenomenological approach was utilized because it provided a way to examine unexplored phenomena for which all the relevant variables of the phenomena have not been identified (Marshall & Rossman, 1999). The findings describe and analyze how students accessed college, the successes and challenges they encountered, and how their parents engaged in this process. College administrators may find these insights useful in the improvement of services that seek to support and retain first-generation college students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Low income, first-generation college students face many barriers in their pursuit of a college degree. As a result, the retention rates for this student population have traditionally been lower than for other student populations. In order to support the persistence of this student population it is important to study the experiences of those students who are persisting in college. This study explores the college experiences of seven low income, first-generation students who are persisting in college, in order to better understand how university faculty and staff can better support degree attainment for this student population. This qualitative study addresses the question, "What are the experiences of persisting low income, first-generation students during their enrollment in college?" The study also addresses the two secondary questions, "What factors contribute to low income, first-generation student persistence?" and "How can their university better support low income, first-generation students to graduation?" This study explores the emerging themes of the challenges this student population faces and their personal drive and motivation to persist in college, as well as experiences with advising and orientation, academic support resources, and non-academic support resources. The end result of this study is a set of suggestions for how university faculty and staff can provide resources to better support low income, first-generation students in their college persistence.
