“…A change in the campus climate may also help Latinx students succeed at non‐HSIs. For example, Asian and Latinx students at HBCUs tend to find HBCUs supportive and welcoming, and attribute their success to this positive, student‐centered campus climate (Allen, ; Maramba et al., ; Palmer et al., ). White students at HBCUs also report that the institutions have a welcoming, “family‐oriented” environment that provides a “sense of comfort” (Ricard and Brown, :26).…”

Objective. College enrollments among Latinx students have increased by 12 percent in the last 14 years, but the group's overall graduation rate has only increased by 5 percent, leading researchers to reevaluate the predictors of completion for Latinx students. This study explores the relationship between Latinx graduation rates and various forms of representation. Methods. Random effect modeling using institutional-level data collected from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System, 2008-2011, is used to examine the relationship between Latinx graduation rates, peer, faculty, and structural representation. Results. Results suggest that structural representation and behaviors are important predictors of Latinx students' persistence toward graduation. Specifically, historically black colleges and universities fare better than other structures in representing and supporting Latinx students. Conclusion. Institutions and policymakers seeking to improve the college completion rates of Latinx students should think beyond descriptive representation and consider reducing the structural barriers to Latinx students' success.

“…Black students comprise 76% of the student body at HBCUs (Palmer et al, 2015) and have a rich history of being in the fore front of most social and educational endeavors on their campuses. Students at this HBCU reported outdoor recreation is not instilled into the campus or Black American cultures and that this affected their willingness to try outdoor activities.…”

The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore perceived constraints of structured outdoor recreation experiences for students attending a Historically Black College/University (HBCU). Data were collected from four focus group sessions. Grounded Theory was used to analyze the data and from an analysis of data, four themes emerged: 1. Family impact, 2. Companionship, 3. Social media and technology, and 4. HBCU and Black American cultures. This study confirmed the importance of social companionship and the need for relevant marketing strategies as motivators for Black student participation in outdoor recreation activities at this HBCU. A common thread among the groups, was the perception of Whiteness in outdoor spaces and its negative impact on outdoor recreation involvement.

“…Specifically, scholars have found that Latinx students at HSIs and PWIs share more similar experiences than differences (Nelson-Laird et al, 2007). Researchers have also explored the experiences of Latinx students enrolled at HBCUs (Palmer et al, 2015; Palmer & Maramba, 2015; Roach, 2004). Although HBCU faculty were often more available and approachable to students, Latinx students also experienced microaggression behaviors (e.g., subtle forms of discrimination) from some faculty and their Black peers (Palmer et al, 2015).…”
