With almost half of Black doctoral students identifying as first-generation, it is critical for higher education and student affairs (HESA) faculty and institutional leaders to understand the intersectional experiences of these students to successfully recruit, retain, and graduate this population. While necessary in all fields, it is even more important to remove systemic barriers in a field that espouses social justice as a value, like student affairs. This study seeks to explore the experiences of Black first-generation doctoral students in HESA programs at historically white institutions.","PeriodicalId":355820,"journal":{"name":"Journal of First-generation Student Success","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114845871","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This entails discussion, collaboration, and debate as we hone in on research articles and Notes From the Field submissions that engage advanced thought leadership, theoretical frameworks, asset-based research, and critical reflections of the complex first-generation student community. Our hope is that whether you are an emerging scholar, a tenured faculty member, a first-generation college student/professional/ graduate, or a university president that you are able to stay the course on advancing firstgeneration student success by identifying transformative practices in your respective spheres of influence and beyond. This second issue of the Journal of First-generation Student Success features four research articles and one Notes From the Field submission. The research articles were positioned intentionally to consider macro-level first-generation student success efforts that signal institutional commitment, followed by manuscripts which center first-generation student experiences in areas such as peer-to-peer support, on-campus living, and doctoral programs. Each JFGSS issue will close with Notes From the Field submissions, featuring perspectives at the nexus of research and practice. This issue’s Notes From the Field feature illuminates the experiences of first-generation immigrant professionals. We start off with a research article that considers the role of institutional mission statements as a signal for first-generation student success efforts. Catherine M. Pressimone Beckowski and Jake D. Winfield’s “Toward a Culture of First-Generation Student Success: An Analysis of Mission Statements From First-gen Forward Institutions” presents a content analysis of 157 mission statements of NASPA First-gen Forward Institutions — universities that have earned national recognition for their commitment to first-generation student success. This piece leaves readers with tangible recommendations on ways to leverage institutional missions to promote a culture of first-generation student success. Next, Trista A. Beard’s “Emerging Social Capital in the Lives of Latinx First-Generation College Students: The Case for ‘Apprentice Agents’ in a Social Capital Framework” presents findings drawn from the college life histories of 10 graduating seniors to showcase how Latinx first-generation college students rely on emotional support from their trusted peers to navigate the environment, processes, and resources within universities. Then, Krista M. Soria and Brayden J. Roberts’ “The Benefits of Living on Campus for Low-Income, First-Generation Students’ Belonging, Perceptions of Campus Climate, and Resilience” utilized propensity score matching techniques from data collected as part of the Multi-Institutional Study of Leadership survey to examine the effects of living on campus for first-year, first-generation students from low-income backgrounds.

This article introduces the theory of urbanormativity, which argues that society operates with an urban-centric mind-set, seeing “urban” as normal and acceptable while “rural” is backward and deviant. Applying this theory to higher education may explain, in part, the disparities between rural/non-rural college success given higher education’s preferences for urbanormative forms of symbolic capital. A fictional interaction between a student and career counselor exemplifies the ways in which rural first-generation students may experience college in comparison to non-rural students. The article concludes with a reflection upon policies and practices which may enhance postsecondary access for rural first-generation students.","PeriodicalId":355820,"journal":{"name":"Journal of First-generation Student Success","volume":"337 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123395823","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The theoretical connections that guide this study are social and navigational capital and seek to answer how these collegians use these forms of cultural wealth to develop different campus support services for their peers. The findings from this study reveal how these organizational members use their cultural capital to organize and network with various stakeholders to develop a scholarship for undocu/DACAmented students, in addition to applying for and obtaining grant funding to commence a peer-mentoring program.
