The Latinx/a/o population is the largest and fastest-growing ethnic group in the United States, yet higher education attainment for this community is among the lowest. Latinx/a/os in Higher Education: Exploring Identity, Pathways, and Success addresses topics relevant to the experience of Latinx/a/o students and professionals and illustrates key elements that should be considered in the development of varied pathways to their success.

This groundbreaking book combines scholarly chapters with personal perspectives from Latinx/a/o students, administrators, and faculty who have navigated cultural differences and institutional politics to overcome barriers. The authors share innovative insights and promising practices for diversifying key leadership positions within the academy and improving outcomes for Latinx/a/o college student success.

Organized in five sections, this edited collection explores a number of critical topics, including:

  • The current Latinx/a/o enrollment and success landscape

  • Closing the attainment gap for Latinx/a/o students

  • Advocacy and policymaking, with in-depth discussion of legislative policies and institutional practices related to undocumented students

  • Identity, cultural values and norms, gender, and sexuality in the Latinx/a/o community

  • Advancing an anti-deficit achievement framework

  • Developing pathways to access and success for Latinx/a/o students, particularly the role of community colleges and honors programs

As the Latinx/a/o population continues to grow rapidly, the need to develop promising pathways within success-oriented environments for Latinx/a/o students and professionals in higher education is now more important than ever. This indispensable publication will inform and guide student affairs and higher education in advancing the conditions necessary for Latinx/a/o students, faculty, and professionals to thrive.

Praise for Latinx/a/os in Higher Education

“Latinx/a/os in Higher Education is a compelling anthology of insightful narratives depicting the plight and triumphs of an underserved demographic that is increasingly becoming the backbone of America’s workforce. The stories come from the hearts and minds of outstanding practitioners and thinkers whose diverse pathways share a deep sense of commitment to uplifting the educational condition of Hispanics/Latinos/as.”
