“…Experts characterize a sense of belonging as an awareness of mattering to one’s community, and addresses the psychological elements of social integration and attachment to an institution (Hurtado & Ponjuan, 2005; Hurtado, Ruiz Alvarado, & Guillermo-Wann, 2015). A substantial literature has demonstrated a sense of belonging to be of particular importance to the experiences of historically marginalized undergraduate students (Holloway-Friesen, 2018a, 2018c; Hurtado & Ponjuan, 2005; Strayhorn, 2012). Recently, researchers have begun exploring the influence of a sense of belonging on academic and social outcomes among graduate students (e.g., Curtin, Stewart, & Ostrove, 2013; Holloway-Friesen, 2018b).…”

This quantitative study examined the role of mentoring on 332 Hispanic graduate students' sense of belonging and academic self-efficacy. The results found that mentored Hispanic graduate students reported significantly higher levels of sense of belonging and academic self-efficacy than unmentored students. A hierarchical regression found 24% of the variance in academic self-efficacy was accounted for by mentoring and sense of belonging. Implications for practice and future research are discussed. Resumen Este estudio cuantitativo examinó el papel de mentoría en trescientos treinta y dos estudiantes hispanos de postgrado-en cuanto a su sentido de pertenencia y eficacia académica propia. Los resultados encontrados señalan que estudiantes hispanos de postgrado que experimentaron mentoría reportaron niveles significativamente más altos del sentido de pertenencia y de eficacia académica propia comparados con los estudiantes sin mentoría.

“…How a student experiences his or her academic environment may potentially impact their perceptions of future employment sites (Valdivia & Flores, 2012). When Latino/a students identify with the culture of the postsecondary institution, higher academic persistence and well-being are reported (Gloria et al, 2009;Holloway-Friesen, 2016). However, when students sense they are not valued, especially based on their ethnicity, and not provided adequate academic support, they are more likely to experience academic and career planning deficits (Gloria & Robinson-Kurpius, 1996;Gloria et al, 2016).…”

This study examined the role culture and college environment had on the perception of ethnic and gender career barriers of 138 Latino/a college students. Specifically, background characteristics (i.e., parent education, immigration status, and sex), acculturation, enculturation, and college environment on perceived ethnic/gender barriers were examined. Results showed 18% of the variance in perceived ethnic and gender career barriers were predicted by sex, acculturation, and college environment. As expected, sex, acculturation, and college environment negatively predicted perceived ethnic and gender career barriers. Latinas anticipated discrimination in future worksites more than Latino males. Acculturation and a welcoming college environment that supported diverse students predicted lower perceived ethnic and gender career barriers. Enculturation did not significantly predict perceived career barriers. Supporting the hypothesis, an interaction effect between sex and college environment predicted perceived career barriers. Implications for practice and future research are discussed.

“…In addition to a lack of strong family relationships, participants echoed well‐documented challenges with peer interactions on campus. Results from Holloway‐Friesen's (2018) study at a faith‐based university indicated that commuter students had trouble making meaningful connections with others, especially when constraints such as jobs, physical distance, and cultural insensitivity created barriers to belonging on campus. These students are in need of system‐wide improvements at the university level to assist in fostering relationships and a sense of belonging.…”

This study explored the lived experiences of 10 historically marginalized racial minority college commuter students. Data revealed an overarching experience of “in‐betweenness,” consisting of constant transition and yearning for achievement and connections. Major themes include (a) identity negotiations and developmental change, (b) the desire for meaningful work, (c) commuter life as a world of “fear of missing out (FOMO)” and missed connections, (d) adult‐ish: distant familial relationships living under one roof, and (e) desired community resources to facilitate success.
