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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eINTRODUCTION: Why This Topic?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHAPTER ONE: The Importance of Higher Education\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHAPTER TWO: Study Methods and Student Profiles\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHAPTER THREE: The Specter of Food and Housing Insecurities \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHAPTER FOUR: Staff Perspectives and Perceptions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHAPTER FIVE: First-Generation Students Navigating Riverside\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHAPTER SIX:Gender as a Factor for First-Generation Women\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHAPTER SEVEN: Who Can I Talk to About My Mental Health?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHAPTER EIGHT: So, What Now?
