The First Generation Student Experience (An ACPA CoPublication),Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Copublished with More firstgeneration students are attending college than ever before, and policy makers agree that increasing their participation in higher education is a matter of priority. Despite this, there is no agreed definition about the term, few institutions can quantify how many firstgeneration students are enrolled, or mistakenly conflate them with lowincome students, and many important dimensions to the firstgeneration student experience remain poorly documented. Few institutions have in place a clear, wellarticulated practice for assisting firstgeneration students to succeed. Given that firstgeneration students comprise over 40% of incoming freshmen, increasing their retention and graduation rates can dramatically increase an institutions overall retention and graduation rates, and enhance its image and desirability. It is clearly in every institutions selfinterest to ensure its firstgeneration students succeed, to identify and count them, and understand how to support them. This book provides highlevel administrators with a plan of action for deans to create the awareness necessary for meaningful longterm change, sets out a campus acclimation process, and provides guidelines for the necessary support structures.At the heart of the book are 14 firstperson narratives by firstgeneration students spanning freshman to graduate years that help the reader get to grips with the variety of ethnic and economic categories to which they belong. The book concludes by defining 14 key issues that institutions need to address, and offers a course of action for addressing them. This book is intended for everyone who serves these students faculty, academic advisors, counselors, student affairs professionals, admissions officers, and administrators and offers a set of best practices for how two and fouryear institutions can improve the success of their firstgeneration student populations.An ACPA Publication
