Student Involvement and Academic Outcomes links student involvement
to tangible academic outcomes (i.e., GPAs, retention rates,
graduation rates). This is particularly important for diverse
student populations (e.g., underrepresented minority,
first-generation college, and low-income students) who now make up
a significant portion (and will soon become the majority) of U.S.
college students. The text is a valuable tool for higher education
administrators, faculty, staff, graduate students, parents,
students, and scholars alike. In addition, the volume is ideal for
master's and doctoral programs in higher education and student
affairs-related fields and for courses that examine
issues/experiences associated with diverse U.S. college students,
student affairs intervention strategies, racial and ethnic
diversity in higher education, and critical/contemporary issues in
higher education.
This book examines campus climate data collected from
undergraduates at several large, public research universities
across the nation to enhance understanding of the long-term impact
of campus climate on student success. Many universities have
refocused their attention and energy on campus climate, defined in
this volume as students' perceptions of how welcoming and
respectful their campus environments are for students from
different social identities. As structural diversity continues to
grow more complex on college campuses around the nation, campus
leaders have begun to take more steps to understand campus climate
and address persistent inequalities, acts of discrimination, and
violence against students from diverse backgrounds. The authors in
this volume address initiatives to improve campus climate and
provide empirical evidence on the effectiveness of those programs.
In this edited volume, authors explore the ways in which
departments, programs, and centers at public research universities
are working to better engage students in the work of citizenship
and social justice. The chapters in this book illuminate the
possibilities and challenges for developing community engagement
experiences and provide evidence of the effects of these efforts on
communities and undergraduate students' development of citizenship
outcomes. This text reveals how important the integration of our
intentions and actions are to create a community engaged practice
aimed towards justice.
This book outlines how undergraduate students engage with civic and
community projects and how this can be encouraged by their
universities. It also explores how universities can build on this
involvement and develop undergraduates' civic and democratic
capacities, including programmatic strategies and conceptual
frameworks for understanding the students' activities. As higher
education across the globe experiences increasing student numbers
it is important to understand how students engage with civic and
community service.
