In January 2014, the White House urged that college be made more accessible for low-income Americans. Yet, moving beyond access to success requires knowing more about the experiences of these students. A new research report captures the challenges low-income, first-generation students faced in their collegiate journey, examining the strategies they employed to persist. Organized thematically and using student narrative, the brief report explores the diversity of first-generation students, the intersections of their multiple identities, and their interactions with the institutional agents that affect college success. An Exploration of Intersecting Identities of First-Generation, Low-Income Students also offers practical suggestions for higher education professionals working with this diverse and growing population. Following an introduction, this book contains the following sections: (1) First-Generation Students: Intersecting Contexts and Identities; (2) Setting the Context: The Focus-Group Study; (3) Betwixt and Between: Visible/Invisible and Different Worlds; (4) Negotiating New Terrains: Perpetual Border Crosser and Burden of Privilege; (5) Finding Footholds: Establishing Voice and Call for Genuine Commitment; and (6) Discussion and Implications. A list of references and a section about the authors is included.
