The article analyzes the elements defined in Colombia as relevant to evaluate higher education (HE) quality. Using a literature review as the main source of information, this article reveals the way in which the HE system is a vehicle for a society of self-control and self-realization. Likewise, the implications for different actors involved in the HE system are discussed and the question of whether the interests of governments, institutions, and students are actually being served is posited.

The author provided a brief exploration into the origins of racial/ethnic categories and facilitated a linkage between a colonial past and the present. She encouraged educational researchers and practitioners to adopt an understanding of Latinidad beyond a pan-ethnic model of identity by making critical colonial connections. She underscored how coloniality permeates educational structures, pedagogical practices, and the foundations of scholarship development that subjugate LatinX students to view themselves through the eyes of the colonizer.

This conceptual article presents a model for understanding and increasing the civic engagement of Latinx students in higher education. The model presents the key student attributes, precollege and college experiences, and institutional characteristics that impact the civic development of Latinx college students. Higher education practitioners and researchers can use the model to inform the understanding and development of programs, services, and practices to increase the civic engagement of Latinx students.

In the face of environmental adversities, Latina college students demonstrate resilience. A psychosocial framework was applied in this study to evaluate perceptions of barriers (i.e., environmental risk), COVID-19 distress (i.e., personal vulnerability), social support (i.e., environmental protective), and mindfulness (i.e., personal strength) as predictors of Latina students’ resilience. Only social support and mindfulness contributed to resilience after controlling for demographic factors. Findings enhance strengths-based literature in resilience and have theoretical, research, and practical implications.

We study the impact of peer effects on the academic achievement of economics students in Pontifical Catholic University of Ecuador (PUCE) Ecuador, for both semesters of 2018. The estimates from our random-effects model show a significant influence of the average-group, high-achieving, and low-achieving peers. These results are robust with the presence of socioeconomic, academic, and teaching quality covariates. The findings suggest that systems that prioritize course enrollment according to previous scores may exacerbate a peer-driven bias in student performance.

Postsecondary co-enrollment, or simultaneous enrollment at multiple institutions, is becoming increasingly common among U.S. college students. This descriptive analysis documented the characteristics and co-enrollment patterns of Latinx/a/o students in the Beginning Postsecondary Students Longitudinal Study (12/17). Findings of the study revealed that Latinx/a/o students co-enrolled at multiple postsecondary institutions at greater rates than all students combined, and that persistence and bachelor’s degree completion rates were higher for co-enrolled Latinx/a/o students than for all Latinx/a/o students.

Given the need for Latinx/a/o health care providers in the United States, understanding how students choose these fields is critical to achieving more equitable systems. This study uses community cultural wealth to investigate how Latina first-generation college students choose and pursue health care careers. Findings show that women employed multiple sources of capital to learn about career options, challenge inequalities in health systems, and to give back to family, especially to honor past and future generations of women.

This study examines Mexican-origin first-generation college students’ (FGCS) transformational impetus within the sociopolitical context of the Nuevo South. Authors investigate transformational impetus through students’ perceptions of knowledge and tools for advocating for equity and social justice in their communities. Results suggest a greater perceived awareness of equity and social justice tools for community uplift among Mexican-origin FGCS than continuing-generation Mexican-origin college students. Implications for research and practice are provided.
