    This study was developed due to previous research that found the campus community and other social and personal factors discouraged minority students of color to enroll to universities. The goal of this study was to find unique ways of making minority students of color feel comfortable in these universities, break down any misconceptions they may have and get them enrolled and guide them through the completion of their program. I chose this article because it is an effort that I am truly passionate about.

    Racial Disparities In The Classroom

    It also crucial to understand how racial disparities in the classroom can lead to racial stereotyping and racial discrimination. Unfortunately, some teachers may stereotype African American students as delinquent or academically inferior, thus they may be more punitive towards minority children. Therefore, Rocque and Pasternoster (2011) states that their research will evaluate if black students are discriminated by use of school punishment, and if disparate treatment is used more in elementary school. The amount of school discipline and the proportion of African American students will be measured to see correlations exist between the two…

    Exemplify The Gender Gap

(Amarante) Hunt believes that women should be segregated from men in the laboratory as they are a distraction to science. Although Hunt received backlash for his comments, it provides an example of the gender biases affecting women in STEM majors.…

Students who face immediate financial emergencies do not have the time to follow through with a scholarship that may or not be awarded to them. To be there for our students and ensure our students graduate, we hope that a Student Emergency Fund will alleviate immediate financial…
