Over 5 million college students in the United States – nearly
one-in-three students currently enrolled – are of immigrant origin,
meaning they are either the children of immigrant parents or guardians
and/or immigrants themselves. These students accounted for almost 60%
of the growth in higher education enrolment in the 21st century.
Nevertheless, there is very little research dedicated to this student
population's specific experiences of postsecondary education, with
similar absences discernible within the realms of higher education
policy and practice. Although college campuses are making important
progress in building more inclusive spaces, conversations about
climate and student care rarely account for the journeys of students
of immigrant origin. Featuring 20 chapters written by more than 50
contributors, this book addresses this glaring omission. The authors
examine how students of immigrant origin experience the road to,
through, and beyond higher education, while, simultaneously, speaking
to evidence-based implications for policy, research, and practice.
