Over 5 million college students in the United States – nearly one-in-three students currently enrolled – are of immigrant origin, meaning they are either the children of immigrant parents or guardians and/or immigrants themselves. These students accounted for almost 60% of the growth in higher education enrolment in the 21st century. Nevertheless, there is very little research dedicated to this student population's specific experiences of postsecondary education, with similar absences discernible within the realms of higher education policy and practice. Although college campuses are making important progress in building more inclusive spaces, conversations about climate and student care rarely account for the journeys of students of immigrant origin. Featuring 20 chapters written by more than 50 contributors, this book addresses this glaring omission. The authors examine how students of immigrant origin experience the road to, through, and beyond higher education, while, simultaneously, speaking to evidence-based implications for policy, research, and practice.

Immigrant populations, growing quickly in both size and diversity, have become an important segment of the U.S. college student population, one that will profoundly transform the educational landscape and workforce in coming decades. Nevertheless, immigrant students in higher education are often inaccurately characterized and largely misunderstood. In response to this alarming disconnect, this monograph reviews and synthesizes the existing body of literature on immigrant students, with special attention placed on transitions to college and collegiate experiences. The authors lay a foundation for future research and draw out implications for policies and practices that will better serve the educational needs of this growing population. This is the 6th issue of the 38th volume of the Jossey-Bass series ASHE Higher Education Report. Each monograph is the definitive analysis of a tough higher education issue, based on thorough research of pertinent literature and institutional experiences. Topics are identified by a national survey. Noted practitioners and scholars are then commissioned to write the reports, with experts providing critical reviews of each manuscript before publication.

Immigrant-origin college students (those who have immigrated to the US and those who are children of immigrants) are a growing population. Currently, a third of all college-age young people in the US are first- or second-generation immigrants (Rumbaut & Komaie, 2010). Despite their growing numbers, very little attention has been paid to their experiences during this developmental phase. Classic developmental theory suggests that this time of life, referred to as Emerging Adulthood, is characterized as a time of self-focus and ambivalence toward adult status for young people in post-industrialized nations (Arnett, 2006). For many immigrant-origin students, however, their experiences of this time of life can vary significantly from the native-born population (Katsiaficas, Suárez-Orozco & Dias, 2014). Arriving to diverse college settings (Teranishi, Suárez-Orozco & Suárez-Orozco, 2011) immigrant-origin students often struggle to define themselves as they contend with acculturating to mainstream values and norms while simultaneously maintaining a sense of home cultural values such as family interdependence (Tseng, 2004). Furthermore, there are significant increases in levels of family obligation values (Fuligni & Pedersen, 2002) as well as community engagement (Flanagan & Levine, 2010) during this developmental period. How both of these types of social responsibilities (Wray-Lake & Syvertsen, 2011) are experienced in the lives of immigrant-origin students has hereto been understudied. This mixed-methods dissertation addresses these gaps in the literature through three iterative studies that utilized both a sequential embedded and multiphase design (Creswell & Plano Clark, 2011). Study 1 explores, through mixed-methods, how immigrant-origin community college students (N = 645) identify and achieve criteria of adulthood. Findings suggest multiple responsibilities are key during this phase of life as young adults form their identities. Next, Study 2 quantitatively examines profiles of engagement in family and community responsibilities through cluster analysis with (N = 488) first- and second-generation immigrant community college students. Qualitative case studies contextualizing each cluster profile provide insight into how these social responsibilities are experienced in the lives of students. Lastly, Study 3 examines quantitative trends of engaging in social responsibilities with a national sample of undocumented Latino college students (N = 797). Qualitative portraits from a participatory action research project utilizing verbal (interview) and visual (family-map) narratives of undocumented college students in California provide a deeper understanding of the value of "collective contribution" in undocumented students' lives. Taken together, these three studies have implications for understanding and supporting immigrant-origin students in the various college contexts they are embedded within.

"The economics of American higher education are driven by one key factor--the availability of students willing to pay tuition--and many related factors that determine what schools they attend. By digging into the data, economist Nathan Grawe has created probability models for predicting college attendance. What he sees are alarming events on the horizon that every college and university needs to understand. Overall, he spots demographic patterns that are tilting the US population toward the Hispanic southwest. Moreover, since 2007, fertility rates have fallen by 12 percent. Higher education analysts recognize the destabilizing potential of these trends. However, existing work fails to adjust headcounts for college attendance probabilities and makes no systematic attempt to distinguish demand by institution type. This book analyzes demand forecasts by institution type and rank, disaggregating by demographic groups. Its findings often contradict the dominant narrative: while many schools face painful contractions, demand for elite schools is expected to grow by 15+ percent. Geographic and racial profiles will shift only slightly--and attendance by Asians, not Hispanics, will grow most. Grawe also use the model to consider possible changes in institutional recruitment strategies and government policies. These "what if" analyses show that even aggressive innovation is unlikely to overcome trends toward larger gaps across racial, family income, and parent education groups. Aimed at administrators and trustees with responsibility for decisions ranging from admissions to student support to tenure practices to facilities construction, this book offers data to inform decision-making--decisions that will determine institutional success in meeting demographic challenges"--

This groundbreaking volume is the first to concentrate specifically on the experiences, challenges, and triumphs of immigrant-origin community college students. Drawing on data from the Research on Immigrants in Community College Study (RICC), chapters highlight the unique needs of these students, the role of classrooms and campus settings, out-of-class time spent on campus, the importance of relationships, expectations versus outcomes, and key recommendations for policy and practice. The text integrates an array of important topics, including developmental challenges, language learning, the undocumented student experience, microaggressions, counseling center use, and academic engagement. Above all, this book looks at what community colleges can do to better help this growing population of new Americans succeed. “This book is a gift of hope and possibility to all of us who know that community colleges are the pathway to educational opportunity and equity for the students who, in the not too distant future, will be the face of America.” —Estela Mara Bensimon, director of the Center for Urban Education, USC Rossier School of Education “Offers detailed analysis and concrete recommendations on how community colleges could better serve students from immigrant backgrounds. It is a must-read for policymakers and practitioners in the field.” —Randy Capps, Migration Policy Institute Contributors: Cynthia M.

"Over two million of the nation's eleven million undocumented immigrants have lived in the United States since childhood. Due to a broken immigration system, they grow up to uncertain futures. In Lives in Limbo, Roberto G. Gonzales introduces us to two groups: the college-goers, like Ricardo, whose good grades and strong network of community support propelled him into higher education, only to land in a factory job a few years after graduation, and the early-exiters, like Gabriel, who failed to make meaningful connections in high school and started navigating dead-end jobs, immigration checkpoints, and a world narrowly circumscribed by legal limitations. This ethnography asks why highly educated undocumented youth ultimately share similar work and life outcomes with their less-educated peers, even as higher education is touted as the path to integration and success in America. Gonzales bookends his study with discussions of how the prospect of immigration reform, especially the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, could impact the lives of these young Americans"--Provided by publisher.
