To date a noteworthy amount of research has been conducted on
African American student success strategies and the first year
experience of college students independently. This book explores
both of these elements as they translate to servicing students of
color in through practical and effective efforts. Through an
analysis of the narrative this text explores the critical
reflections of six African American community college students
about their successful transition from the first-year to the
second-year of college. Critical Race Theory is applied as a
theoretical lens in reference to understanding the historically
unequal circumstances African American students have faced over the
history of the American educational system. This text examines
their reflections and experiences as they bridged the gap between
the first and second year of community college. Issues surrounding
persistence, progress towards degree/certificate completion,
transfer preparation and their use of student services resources
are all explored.
