The reasons a student may choose a particular institution when seeking a postsecondary education are many. However, campus visitation--more specifically, the campus tour--is frequently cited as the most important aspect of the college recruitment process. Correspondingly, in a hypercompetitive and fiscally afflicted higher education market,…

First-generation students of color (FGSoC) experience the impostor phenomenon at predominately White institutions (PWIs) and lack the support that is needed in order to effectively navigate the realm of higher education. Continuing feelings of self-doubt, fear of being exposed, and feeling fraudulent illustrate the need for a support system for…

The medical school learning environment can be an emotionally and academically demanding environment that impacts the student experience.

As campuses become increasingly diverse, it is important that faculties maintain inclusive classrooms. Students of underrepresented ethnic/racial groups are more likely to experience disengagement in an academic setting (Nagasawa & Wong, 1999), which can lead to underperformance (Major et al., 1998). Students with LGBTQA+ (lesbian, gay,…

We utilized the emotional labor triangle to understand how 16 Black women students who attended Historically white colleges and universities (HWCUs) navigated gendered-racialized oppressive environments that mattered to their academic success. This study contributes to a gap in the literature, as much of the research focused on students of color…

Research on intercultural interactions in higher education focuses on measuring student attitudes and degrees of cosmopolitanism, but there is little theoretically and empirically informed effort to understand 1) the nature of these campus interactions as ordinary, embodied, and routine, and 2) the cultural and social impact of campus…

Our qualitative study (n = 8), focusing on…
