Exploring the College Experiences of Undergraduate Students Adopted from South Korea
- Jennifer Nissen (Iowa State University)
Abstract
This session will focus on my dissertation qualitative study to better understand the college experiences of Korean adoptees related to their personal development and Korean cultural awareness while at a mid-sized, Midwestern university. The college years are rarely studied in adoption research yet these years may have a profound impact on the lives of adoptees. The information presented during this session will provide students, faculty, and university staff more insight about the experiences of undergraduate students adopted from Korea. During the session, I will discuss my research and findings as well as share themes and students’ quotes with the attendees. We will also discuss the implications of my research in small groups.
