Abstract

This book focuses on four model programs that are highly effective in preparing students from underrepresented groups for college and in supporting these students through baccalaureate degree completion. The four model programs serve students from those ethnic groups that face the most serious problems of underrepresentation in American higher education--African Americans, Latinos, and American Indians. What sets these four programs apart from most other minority college recruitment and retention efforts is that they are built on this premise: Ethnic identity plays an empowering role in educational achievement. (cover) The four model programs that make ethnic identity central to educational success are the Neighborhood Academic Initiative (NAI) in south central Los Angeles, 2+2+2 at South Dakota State University (SDSU), the First Generation Student Success Program (FGSSP) at the University of La Verne in Southern California and Critical Moments, which operates at a number of universities nationwide.
