“…This finding speaks to the notion of mechanisms of nonacademic support distributed to all students throughout college (Karp, Chapter 3). Although the community college sector increases college access for students of marginalized backgrounds, the sector is greatly underfunded and receives less state financial support than other sectors but is charged to serve the most disenfranchised students (Hendrick, Hightower, & Gregory, ; Mullin, ). Though boutique programs, such as FYE, foster student success, they enroll only a small percentage of eligible students.…”

“…Due to the prevalence of community colleges in most states, they are also easily accessible geographically (Miller, Pope, & Steinmann, 2005).

Popular media represent outlets for shaping and informing public perception of institutions and institutional actors found in our society. Community colleges and their students have been featured in a number of fictional works. This paper provides an analysis of the portrayal of community college students in the fictional works of novels, short stories, television programs, and motion pictures. Through this analysis, the authors highlight significant lessons that can be learned from increased understanding of fictional portrayals of community colleges and their students and applied to both community college practice and continued research.Writers have generated hundreds of novels, short stories, screenplays, and television scripts that take an institution of higher learning as a setting and a student, professor, or administrator as a protagonist; a growing number of these works center on the two-year institution. These works are important to understand because the mass public has access to them, whereas they may never see a catalog, Web site, or other publicity document from a community college. Thus, these fictional accounts may have a dramatic effect on public opinion and are worthy of scholarly attention.Our study examined images of the two-year college student in popular media and analyzed the images presented to the public.

These open-access systems provide an entry to higher education for a nontraditional student body.…”
