A Tale of Two Programs: How Administrators Conceptualize and Enact Support for First-Generation, Low-Income Students

Fri, November 10, 2:45 to 4:30pm, Marriott Marquis Houston, Floor: Third Floor, Salon Prefunction

Abstract

First-generation, low-income students (FGLI) complete college at disproportionately low rates. This study examines this gap from the perspective of administrators working in two different support programs at one public university. It investigates how these administrators conceptualize FGLI students, the problems that they face, and the solutions that will yield success.
