Testimonios of Part-Time Enrolled Latina Students: The Challenges and Experiences at a Hispanic-Serving California Community College

ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, University of Southern California
This qualitative study explored the challenges and experiences of part-time enrolled Latina students moving through a Hispanic-serving California community College (HSCCC). Grounded in Schlossberg's transition theory, the 4 S system, and Latino critical race theory (LatCrit), the study captures the testimonios of 12 testimonialistas to examine their challenges and experiences while navigating through an HSCCC. By analyzing their situations, self-perception, strategies, and support systems, the study highlights the assets, resilience, and resources these students utilize to persist through college. Furthermore, the testimonios highlight three major themes related to their challenges and experiences: lack of sense of belonging and connection to the campus environment, financial challenge, and limited academic and student support services. These findings present implications for policy, practice, and future research that move HSCCCs toward equity and justice for part-time enrolled Latina students.
