Drawing from a longitudinal mixed methods study, the authors provide new models and approaches to supporting low-income, racially minoritized, and first-generation college students. The book provides research-informed practical recommendations for administrators, faculty, and staff about how to create a campus-wide culture that supports at-promise students with illustrations of the concepts in practice and targeted reflection questions. The book offers a transformational approach to creating campus cultures and scaling changes to better serve all students. Unlike books that draw from solely theory or reflections on practice, this book draws from one of the largest studies of its kind that integrates theory and reflection on practice.
