“…Key to this work is questioning long‐held assumptions or stereotypes. The use of a deficit‐framework versus an asset‐based, equity‐minded framework for community college students matters in how decision‐making occurs (Gipson et al., 2018; Malcolm‐Piqueux & Bensimon, 2017).

This chapter reviews social and organizational theories that influence governance to contextualize new ways to think about the roles of boards of trustees. This chapter discusses how various organizational theories help define the roles of boards of trustees, the CEO, and other stakeholders with respect to governance. Using this backdrop, reforms to advance thinking about board operations that advance the mission of community colleges are presented. For example, student success and equity are at the forefront of challenges facing community college leaders and their boards. Understanding more fully how board actions and relationships can help advance this work is critical, and more research on governance and trustees is needed.

This article learns from student voices about how their education abroad experiences was shaped by their agency. Interviews and focus groups were conducted with 22 United States community college and university students and with United States faculty and United Kingdom senior staff who worked at a study abroad Center in London. The study focuses on what the students said were the impact they had from studying abroad, what they said about institutional support that they needed prior to studying abroad, and what they said about their changing sense of being while studying abroad. Counter-Barrier construct and agency theories were used to ground the findings. The findings showed that these students used their agency to influence their decisions to study abroad, to find the strength to transcend weak institutional support services, and to recognize their own personal, social, and critical skills development as a result of studying abroad.
