Praise for First-Generation College Students
"Who students are when they start college does not dictate howmuch they can benefit, provided they take advantage of the myriadlearning opportunities institutions offer. This book is repletewith informative insights into the invisible minority we call'first-gen students' as well as the policies, programs, andpractices institutions should use to help them succeed."
--George D. Kuh, Chancellor's Professor of HigherEducation Emeritus, Indiana University
"Unnoticed and often poorly understood, first-generation collegestudents now comprise nearly fifty percent of students on manycollege campuses. In this book Ward, Siegel, and Davenport offergreat insights and practical suggestions on how higher educationleaders can create a more welcoming, supportive, and inclusiveexperience for these students to succeed."
--Jeffrey R. Docking, president, Adrian College
"Critical to our survival in a global economy is the selection,development, retention and graduation of creative college students.First-Generation College Students is both timely andessential for those interested in understanding the next generationpreparing for college and the ways in which institutions mightanticipate, and therefore avoid, habits that invite failure insteadof graduation. The authors' work experiences, coupled with theircited research base, situate them uniquely to contributeintentional survival strategies to the sometimes unanticipatedrealities of today's college students."
--Zach Kelehear, associate dean for Academic Affairsand professor, College of Education, University of SouthCarolina
"Long overdue, this book provides a comprehensive perspective ofthe unique issues facing first-generation students as theytransition in and out of college. It is an important contributionto higher education during a time when faculty, staff, andadministrators face heightened pressures to retain and graduate allstudents in a timely fashion."
