Exploring the Connection Between Paiute Students’ Perceptions and Their Development as Future Global Leaders

• In Event: Identity and Leadership

Short Description

A study of Paiute Indian students revealed that if institutions of higher education want to enhance the likelihood of increased retention rates among American Indian students (and other minority students), a concerted effort must be made to understand the connection between an institutional learning environment and the development of a student’s self-identity as future leaders. To explore how a learning environment impacts such things as a student’s self-identity, institutions must investigate the students’ perceptions of the learning environments in which they study.
