With college being an important time for developmental growth, it is vital to encourage more research that investigates the effect of trauma on students as well as ways that student affairs professionals may help students exposed to trauma be successful in college. The dominant paradigm in most existing research positions trauma survivors within a deficit framework. Deficit frameworks situate survivors in a position where scholars focus primarily on barriers to success as opposed to the competencies students arrived with and experiences on campus that can increase positive outcomes. This approach has a substantial impact on practice within higher education and student services. This research fills the gap in the literature by using frameworks that focus on student trauma survivors’ sense of worth, engagement with others, and development of life goals. In addition, this research adds to student affairs practice by shifting the focus from risks posed to student success toward a deeper understanding of resiliency and the support of trauma survivors through critical community engagement. Focusing on a case study of students’ experience within a community engagement summer program that sought to foster the development of critical consciousness, findings from this research illustrate that the meaning-making process inherent in critical community engagement aids college students’ resiliency to trauma by focusing on the meaning making of trauma and recovery through service that develops students’ critical consciousness. This evidence that critical community engagement can increase trauma survivors’ recovery and resiliency creates an imperative for student affairs professionals to better understand the role trauma may play in college students’ development.","PeriodicalId":89967,"journal":{"name":"Journal of college and character","volume":"23 1","pages":"144 - 159"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48382292","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}

An interview of 26 staff members from campuses across the country found that culture centers took on a significant role in coalition building between Asian American and Black communities during the COVID-19 pandemic and the current time of racial reckoning. The leadership role of these centers during this time highlights expansion of their original basic mission. Beyond serving as “home away from home” and retention spaces for historically excluded communities, the centers became educational spaces that promote cross racial understanding and affirm multiracial identity. This article reveals the racial narrative about Asian Americans, including the dangers of the model minority myth. The article further provides key historical references to Black and Asian American coalition building in the 20th century, which influenced how culture centers evolved in increasing cross racial understanding on their campuses. With expertise in diversity, inclusion, and equity, the current centers’ staff members have the opportunity to serve as thought leaders for their campuses and enhance their role and the centers’ role in campus administrative policy development for racial and social justice.","PeriodicalId":89967,"journal":{"name":"Journal of college and character","volume":"23 1","pages":"180 - 187"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48750900","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}

It is my hope that students find inspiration in these examples and forge their own pathways of moral development. In writing this reflection, I became aware of the great privilege of having had a parent in higher education and student affairs to guide me. I also learned that every experience on my journey was a means to an end that was more fulfilling and authentic than I—or my father—could have ever planned.","PeriodicalId":89967,"journal":{"name":"Journal of college and character","volume":"23 1","pages":"119 - 126"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42803563","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 authors explore how students connect their lived experience to the conceptualization of diversity within higher education. Using the photovoice method, students collected visual data and provided narrative texts around the concept of diversity. Three themes emerged: harmony, diversity as belonging, and critical multiculturalism. This study deepens our understanding of how identity influences perceptions of diversity and the intersectionality of the first-generation identity. Intersectional theory served as a theoretical lens through which to examine perceptions of diversity within the context of complex heterogeneous identities of first-generation students.","PeriodicalId":89967,"journal":{"name":"Journal of college and character","volume":"23 1","pages":"160 - 179"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44986263","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}
