First-Generation College Student Research Studies displays a group of dynamic scholars from a variety of institutions across the United States. This extraordinary edited volume highlights the first generation college student population and examines topics of discussion such as; college choice, social experiences, dual credit on academic success, life styles and health status, and professional identity/teaching practices. The collection of empirical studies in this text contributes greatly to the research literature regarding the role that educational leaders have in educating first-generation college students.
In the past, much of the research on first-generation students focused on our deficits…While there is much merit in this foundational work, we have learned over the years that there is also another story to be told—the story of our strengths, of our determination, and of the deep sense of purpose that compels us to keep going. First-Generation College Student Research Studies does just that. I applaud the work of Dr. Terence Hicks and associates for bringing this important project to fruition. -- Pamela Larde, associate professor of research at Mercer University, IOC Fellow at McLean Hospital, Harvard Medical School affiliate
