“…Qualitative interviews with open-ended questions allow participants to share in-depth descriptions of their environments, as well as allow researchers to understand the social and cultural relationships of different groups (Marshall & Rossman, 2011, p. 149). The study used the qualitative approach based on previous studies with similar Latina/o student populations (Andrade, Hoppe Nagao, Medrano, Lowe, & Currie, 2015).…”

Using the framework of physical campus ecology and socio-academic integration moments theory, the researcher sought to identify physical university spaces that successful Latina/o transfer students turned to as sites of positive socio-academic integration. Findings revealed that students developed a keen spatial awareness of comfort spaces where they selectively engaged in moments of socio-academic, nonsocial, and nonacademic integration. This study is important to understand students' perceptions about educational environments and whether universities can provide safe spaces for Latina/os. Resumen Usando el marco de ecología física universitaria y la teoría de momentos de integración socio-académica, los investigadores buscaron identificar espacios físicos universitarios con los que estudiantes exitosos latinos/as de transferencia se apoyan para obtener una integración positiva socioacadémica. Resultados revelaron que los estudiantes desarrollaron una consciencia espacial aguda de los espacios cómodos donde ellos selectivamente se involucraron en momentos socio-académicos, nosociales, y de integración no-académica. Este estudio es importante para entender las percepciones de estudiantes sobre entornos educacionales, y si universidades pueden proveer espacios seguros para estudiantes latina/os.

“…The use of qualitative interviews with an open-ended interview protocol was fitting to understand students’ firsthand experiences and perceptions, as well as any validation agents (Rendón Linares & Muñoz, 2011). Andrade et al (2015) similarly found that over-the-phone and one-on-one interviews were the most appropriate to understand the experiences of Latina/o and Adelante students. Similarly, Hoppe Nagao et al (2013) found that Latina/o and Adelante students often had busy schedules and preferred phone calls to participate in interviews.…”

“…The methodology largely resembled the approach taken by previous studies, which used one-on-one and mobile phone interviews (Andrade & Gonzalez, 2014; Andrade et al, 2015; Hoppe Nagao et al, 2013). The use of qualitative interviews with an open-ended interview protocol was fitting to understand students’ firsthand experiences and perceptions, as well as any validation agents (Rendón Linares & Muñoz, 2011).…”

“…The researcher and assistants utilized the demographic surveys and interview protocols used in previous studies (Andrade & Gonzalez, 2014; Andrade et al, 2015; Hoppe Nagao et al, 2013). The questions in previous protocols were created with a validation theory in mind.…”

“…Researchers have investigated students’ experiences in the Adelante program in the first cohort (Andrade, Hoppe Nagao, Medrano, Lowe, & Currie, 2015; Hoppe Nagao, Lowe, Magallon Garcia, & Medrano, 2013), the second cohort (Andrade & Gonzalez, 2014), and students from the first cohort that transferred to the UC or CSU partner institutions (Andrade & Gonzalez, 2014). Table 1 describes the most prevalent student perceptions from interviews with 20 participants in the first cohort (Andrade et al, 2015; Hoppe Nagao et al, 2013) and 25 participants in the second cohort (Andrade & Gonzalez, 2014). Students in both cohorts generally perceived the program in a positive light.…”

This study longitudinally examined the experiences of four different student cohorts who participated in Adelante, a sustained orientation/transfer program designed to assist students in the transfer process from the community college to a baccalaureatedegree granting university. The researcher found that students positively perceived the services, structure, social networking environment, and early exposure to careers. The study provides evidence for the validation function of sustained orientation programs and suggestions for similar programs to help Latina/o students succeed. Resumen Este estudio longitudinal examinó las experiencias de cuatro grupos diferentes de estudiantes que participaron en Adelante, un programa de transferencia sostenida/ programa de transferencia diseñado a asistir estudiantes en el proceso de transferencia de un colegio comunitario a una universidad que otorga grado universitario. El investigador encontró que estudiantes percivían positivamente los servicios, estructura, entorno de comunicación social, y la exposición temprana a carreras. El estudio provee evidencia de la función de validación de programas de orientación sostenida y sugerencias para programas similares de apoyo para el éxito de estudiantes latina/os.
