A Title V Center as a Counterspace for Underrepresented Minority and First-Generation College Students
Roberts, Sarah A.; Lucas, Krista L.
Journal of Hispanic Higher Education, v21 n2 p198-211 Apr 2022
This study examined a Title V Student Center within a Hispanic Serving Institution and how it acted as a counterspace for undergraduate students. The Center provided multiple academic and non-academic supports that students utilized, including mentoring, office hours, and programming. It also provided a place for community development, offering a sense of safety, encouragement, and belonging. This study contributes to limited research on Title V centers for Latinx students at four-year institutions.
