This unique collection of testimonials, critical essays, and
first-hand accounts demonstrates the significant contribution of
campus service workers in supporting the retention and success of
first-generation college students. Using a Freirean framework to
ground individual stories, the text identifies ways in which campus
workers connect with students, provide informal mentorship, and
offer culturally relevant support during students' transition to
college and beyond. Drawing on a range of interviews, case studies,
and research studies, emphasis is placed on the unique challenges
faced by first-generation and minority students such as cultural
alienation, imposter syndrome, language barriers, and financial
insecurity. Ultimately, the text dismantles notions of social
hierarchies that separate workers and college students and
encourages institutions to invest in these workers and their
contribution to student well-being and success. This book will
benefit researchers, academics, and educators with an interest in
the higher education and student affair practice and higher
education administration more broadly. Those specifically
interested in multicultural education and the study of race and
ethnicity within US higher educational contexts will also benefit
from this book.
