Description
Book SynopsisFirst-Generation College Student Research Studies offers uniquely designed chapters that are drawn from both quantitative and qualitative theoretical frameworks found in higher education. This edited volume is a must-read that contributes greatly to the research literature surrounding this student population.
Trade ReviewIn the past, much of the research on first-generation students focused on our deficits…While there is much merit in this foundational work, we have learned over the years that there is also another story to be told—the story of our strengths, of our determination, and of the deep sense of purpose that compels us to keep going. First-Generation College Student Research Studies does just that. I applaud the work of Dr. Terence Hicks and associates for bringing this important project to fruition. -- Pamela Larde, associate professor of research at Mercer University, IOC Fellow at McLean Hospital, Harvard Medical School affiliate
