Reviews
""This timely anthology demonstrates an inspiring shared commitment, from scholar-practitioners nationwide, to increase access and opportunity for first-generation college students. Their critical reflections and policy-focused insights carry forward a collective struggle to better support those who are the first in their families to realize the full potential of higher education, and to make sure they are not the last."" Dr. Tara J. Yosso, first generation college student, Professor, University of California, Riverside, author Critical Race Counterstories along the Chicana/Chicano Educational Pipeline, Routledge; author/designer of Community Cultural Wealth framework. “This book is essential for all educators seeking a humanized, holistic, relationship-centered approach to validating first-generation students and facilitating their academic success. Ultimately, the redesign of higher education will benefit immensely from this book grounded in an asset-based perspective in contemporary research, as well as the authentic lived experiences of first-generation students.” Laura I. Rendón, Professor Emerita, University of Texas-San Antonio and author of Sentipensante Pedagogy: Educating for Wholeness, Social Justice and Liberation; author/designer of student validation theory used widely within student success. ""With compelling insights and practical frameworks, this book offers a transformative blueprint for higher education institutions to grow, adapt, and embrace equity. By highlighting the untapped cultural wealth and resilience of first-generation students, the authors remind us that these students are not just navigating systemic challenges—they are catalysts for meaningful change. This visionary work calls on us to align our practices with the values of inclusion, creating dynamic campuses where every student thrives. A must-read for anyone dedicated to student success and institutional excellence.""
