Developing and Implementing Promising Practices and Programs for First-Generation College Students by Charmaine Troy (Morgan State University, USA)

As first-generation students gain greater access to higher education, faculty, and staff at colleges and universities must provide intentional engagement that supports their persistence and graduation. This book serves as a guidebook for higher education practitioners seeking to implement or enhance first-generation programming at their institutions.
