“…Despite the obstacles they face, many students experiencing homelessness recognize the value of college and want to attend to overcome their circumstances (Emerson et al, 2012;Gupton, 2009). They see college as a way to get out of homelessness (O'Neill & Bowers, 2020). Thus, liaisons and other personnel must recognize how to support the needs of students experiencing homelessness so they can transition seamlessly into higher education and be successful while there.…”

“…Additionally, while McKinney-Vento requires that students experiencing homelessness have a liaison as a point of contact for support in public high schools, the same requirement does not extend to most colleges (Bauer-Wolf, 2019). Further, universities are often not designed to support students who experience homelessness (O'Neill & Bowers, 2020). For those states who have legislation, it is often not as extensive as the McKinney-Vento requirements or not well-funded.…”

“…It is critical that liaisons and universities continue to look for ways to encourage student resilience and continually help to remove barriers so that students experiencing homelessness have access to college and can successfully transition there when they graduate. Recent research suggests that many students feel optimistic about their prospects of going to college and see it as a way to break the devastating cycle of homelessness (O'Neill & Bowers, 2020). Having already overcome such enormous challenges highlights the tenacity and resilience of students experiencing homelessness and their general ability to overcome the challenges faced to be successful post-high school (O'Neill & Bowers, 2020).…”

“…This helps ease the transition process for students going to college by connecting with stakeholders at the university, such as a campus SPOC (NAEHCY, 2018) to ensure a smooth entrance to higher education. Research has found that college students experiencing homelessness themselves recognize the importance of building relationships (O’Neill & Bowers, 2020), and thus, would benefit from being connected to this system through a familiar partner.…”

This qualitative study provides insight into the perceptions and experiences of local homeless liaisons supporting students experiencing homelessness who are preparing for and transitioning to college. Findings suggest that when it comes to preparing students experiencing homelessness for college, liaisons are very involved by addressing students’ three main areas of need. These include their basic needs (i.e., physiological, safety, and academic) and social-emotional needs (i.e., love and belonging and esteem), as well as needs related to college-going (i.e., students’ belief they can go to college) and expectations of college-going outcomes (i.e., students’ belief they can graduate from college). Findings suggest that liaisons play a particularly important role in supporting the college-going of students experiencing homelessness and do so primarily by working collaboratively with a system of stakeholders.

Generation Z undergraduate students’ resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic: a qualitative study

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Resilience has been documented as an essential component in managing stress. However, understanding how undergraduate students with different sociodemographic characteristics perceive resilience remains understudied. This study aimed to explore how undergraduate students in one university define and build resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic. Students’ perception and preferences for receiving resilience training were additionally solicited. A descriptive qualitative cross-sectional study was conducted. Twenty-seven students were interviewed using a semi-structured interview guide via Skype instant messaging. The thematic analysis generated five themes: resilience as enduring and withstanding; the building blocks of resilience; resilience: learning or earning; pedagogical considerations for resilience training; and a blended platform for resilience training. Participants described resilience as an enduring and withstanding trait essential for university students. Resilience can be built from intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Intrinsic factors that enhanced resilience included desire to succeed and motivation. Extrinsic factors were relational in nature, and friends, family, teachers, and religion were found to boost resilience. Students had several recommendations in designing resilience training, and they recommended the use of a blended platform. Further, students suggested the use of videos, narratives from resilient individuals, and using reflective practice as a pedagogy in resilience training. Future resilience training should consist of personal and interpersonal factors and should be introduced early during the academic term of students’ university life. As the COVID-19 pandemic compounds an already challenging academic climate, this study lends it findings to expand the resilience literature and develop future resilience training.
