As Latinx populations are growing throughout the United States and Latinx students are graduating from high school and enrolling in college in noticeably higher numbers than in the past, it has become evident that transfer and degree completion rates are not rising in line with enrollment numbers. The purpose of this study was to examine and try to understand how institutional supports at community colleges impact Generation 1.5 Latinx students' successful transfer to four-year institutions. Using resilience theory as a framework, this qualitative narrative study included a thorough literature review and data from three interviews, two in-person and one via Zoom, with a single Generation 1.5 Latinx transfer student. The data collected in the interviews were coded and analyzed using NVivo. This study found that despite existing research that one of the most significant contributors to attrition for this student population is a struggle with the rigors of writing in academic English, there are deeper issues involved that include negative experiences with academic advising teams, lack of awareness of myriad options for support and guidance, unclear degree pathways and requirements, a lack of Latinx faculty and staff on campus to serve as role models, and most poignantly, the effects of racism and discrimination. These findings contribute to a growing body of literature that recognizes nontraditional students like Generation 1.5 Latinx in the 2020s have different needs from traditional students at the end of the past century and that it is incumbent upon postsecondary institutions to make meaningful changes to meet the needs of these students. Student retention is an important consideration at all institutions of higher learning and understanding the perspectives and needs of growing populations like Generation 1.5 Latinx will help students to be successful in transferring and subsequent degree completion while concurrently improving retention rates at colleges and universities.
