Strengthening Networks of Support among Latin@ Students at UO
This research project explores how students perceive and negotiate the academic and sociocultural expectations of a flagship state university. In addition, this research gathers useful information to administrators as they continue to improve the recruitment and the retention of Latin@ students. 1700 students were invited to participate in an electronic survey and a small number of those who completed the survey participated in semi-structured qualitative interviews.
The collected data leads to the discussion of two main themes:
a, Student Engagement and Faculty-Staff Support Systems
b. Plural identities of UO Latin@ Students
Work on this project continues, and the team in charge look forward to sharing their findings with university administrators to help improve the UO experience for the growing population of Latin@ students.
This project has been sponsored by the Center for Latino/a and Latin American Studies.
