Abstract | "Research has long documented that many Latina/o/x students enter the community college with high aspirations of transferring to a four-year university and with the intent to earn a baccalaureate degree (Crisp & Nora, 2010; Rivas et al., 2007). Yet, despite these goals, both two- and four-year institutions have struggled to facilitate more equitable outcomes for Latina/o/x students (Crisp & Nuñez, 2014; Felix, 2021; Garciìa-Louis et al., 2022). A report by Excelencia in Education revealed that 51% of Latina/o/x students begin their post-secondary education at a community college; yet only 11% earn a four-year degree within six years compared to their White (19%) and Asian (23%) counterparts (Santiago & Cuozzo 2018). As the transfer disparity persists among Latina/o/x community college students and continues to widen for those seeking to complete their baccalaureate degree, we asked ourselves three questions: (1) How do Latina/o/x community college students navigate the transfer preparation and decision-making process? (2) Once at the university, how do Latina/o/x transfer students negotiate their identities and lived experiences as they persist towards graduation and beyond? And (3) What policies, practices, and programs at both two-and four-year institutions facilitate access, persistence, and completion for Latina/o/x community college/transfer students? These reflections prompted us to seek answers. This is the first edited book to provide much needed theoretical and empirical insights on Latina/o/x students who enter postsecondary education through the community college. Our book offers a comprehensive outlook on the pre- and post-transfer experiences of Latina/o/x students written by scholars and scholar-practitioners working in the field of higher education. In addition, we include specific sections that speak directly to policies, practices, and theory that address transfer pathways for Latina/o/x community college and transfer students"--Provided by publisher. |
