This study examines the relationship between positive mental health and educational persistence for 493 Latinx STEM students at Predominantly White Institutions (PWI) and Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSI). Results from the hierarchical multiple regression model for the HSI students found a significant relationship between educational persistence and psychological well-being while PWI students demonstrated a significant relationship between educational persistence and psychological well-being and depressive symptomatology. Implications for practice with Latinx STEM students will be discussed.

Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) play a pivotal role in the higher education of Latina/o/xs. Considering the growth and diversification of these institutions over time, we systematically reviewed more than 20 years of literature on HSIs. Specifically, we explored the nature of the HIS scholarship and the ways it reflects these institutions’ evolution, finding that while literature has grown in the last decade, it has not kept pace with HSIs’ growth, spread, and overall evolution over time.

Hispanic and African American student-fathers are an invisible population in the student support literature on college campuses. In this qualitative study, we examined the lived experiences of 17 student-fathers attending Hispanic Serving Institutions and Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Six themes emerged from our data: family support, uncertainty in parenting practices, co-parenting relationships, responsibility as a father, negative stereotypes, and fatherhood as motivation. Our findings have implications for institutions of higher education.

Drawing on ethnographic methods, this study employed a community cultural wealth framework to analyze the successful trajectories of 27 Latinx engineering/computer science students at a research-intensive HSI. Our findings uncovered four types of community cultural wealth leveraged by participants—aspirational, linguistic, social, and navigational—as well as one additional form of capital: positional. The study has implications for institutions and individuals who serve Latinx students in engineering and STEM more broadly.

In this paper, we focused on the decade of philanthropic funding before the current increase in philanthropy to HSIs (2006/2018). We offered a descriptive overview detailing which philanthropic foundations have provided the largest share of support, the HSIs receiving these gifts, and the areas of focus targeted by these donations. We contributed to the scholarship on philanthropic giving to HSIs using an original dataset.

The study explored how Mexican-origin women in STEM utilized Anzaldua’s borderlands of identity and Conocimientos to successfully navigate between Mexican-origin cultures and STEM cultures. Students experienced life-changing events during their studies (el arrebato) and felt torn between STEM and Mexican-origin cultures (Nepantla). However, students also sought to reimagine their futures (Coyolxuahqui, the blow-up) and use their degrees to help their communities.

While there has been an emphasis within the Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) literature on decentralizing university governance to allow for antiracist decision-making, there has been less focus on the lack of inclusive representation within faculty governance, particularly for historically excluded groups. Guided by testimonio as methodology and examples from our lived experiences within one small Catholic HSI, we offered five tenets of a decolonized faculty governance structure that democratizes faculty participation in decision-making at HSIs.

Six-year college graduation rates for Hispanic and White students from 17 cohorts were analyzed using data from the U.S. Department of Education’s IPED System. Results from regression analyses confirmed statistically significant positive linear trends for Hispanic and White students and statistically significant differences between the two regression lines, with the Hispanic rate of increase almost double that for White students. Adverse impact was found in 9/17 cohorts.

This study explores the demographic/background, academic, and environmental factors that predicted student retention after stopping out at a large Hispanic-serving institution in Southern California. The results show that (a) gender, (b) academic background, experience, readiness, and performance, and (c) personal and financial issues predicted retention. We interpret these findings in the context of existing literature and provide suggestions to help institutions develop intervention strategies to promote student retention and “servingness” at HSIs.

We use a testimonio methodology to examine how engaging in a research collective designed with and for, and comprised by current and former undocumented scholars promoted our development, persistence, and professional preparedness. We argue that research collectives initiated through participatory action research serve as counterspaces for revelation, validation, resistance, empowerment, and liberation for undocumented students. We conclude with recommendations on how faculty can become empowerment agents and create these critical spaces in higher education.
