Students of Color and the Development of Support Networks in Residence Halls at Predominantly White Institutions (PWIs)
- Michelle Boettcher (Iowa State University)
Abstract
What does support look like for students of color living on-campus? There is a gap in the literature related to how students of color build and sustain connections and networks of support. Existing literature has shown that relationships matter in terms of the persistence and success of students of color. Other scholarship has highlighted the fact that students of color who live on campus benefit developmentally. That said there is a need for scholarship connecting these two areas. This session will explore how students of color cultivate support networks within and beyond residence halls at PWIs.
