College students who have experienced mental health issues are at a higher risk for suicide and suicide ideation than students who do not suffer from mental health issues. Approximately 1,100 college students die by suicide in the U.S. annually (Furr et al., 2001; Taliaferro & Muehlenkamp, 2015). Although there are research studies that seek to investigate the phenomena of suicide and suicide ideation in college students, there is a lack of research that addresses the mental health concerns...
Show moreCollege students who have experienced mental health issues are at a higher risk for suicide and suicide ideation than students who do not suffer from mental health issues. Approximately 1,100 college students die by suicide in the U.S. annually (Furr et al., 2001; Taliaferro & Muehlenkamp, 2015). Although there are research studies that seek to investigate the phenomena of suicide and suicide ideation in college students, there is a lack of research that addresses the mental health concerns in Black male college students. Thus, the purpose of this narrative study was to expand the understanding of the lived experiences of Black male students who have dealt with suicide ideation while enrolled in college. The study asked two research questions: (1) How do Black male students who have experienced suicide ideation while in college perceive the impact of their suicide ideation on their collegiate academic and social journeys? And (2) How do Black male college students utilize university resources (counseling centers, campus-affiliated clergy), family, and peers after their suicide ideation experience, and what is their perception of these resources? The research focused not on the actual experience of suicide ideation itself, but the perceived impact of suicide ideation on Black male college students’ academic and social journeys. The academic journey includes the impact on students’ grade point averages (GPAs), impact on attendance, and desire to complete academic assignments. The social journey focuses on participation in extracurricular activities and relationships with faculty, staff, and peers.

Show moreIn this narrative study, the racial socialization experiences of six Black women college students enrolled at predominantly white institutions (PWIs) will be explored. The purpose of this study is to understand the racial socialization experiences of Black women college students and how these experiences impact how they engage in private and public spaces. The following research questions will guide this study: 1. How are Black women college students racially socialized at PWIs? 2. How do Black women college students enrolled at PWIs engage in private and public spaces? Gaps in the literature focus on how Black women in college engage in spaces where they are the minority and how these experiences impact their overall matriculation into higher education (Porter et al., 2020). Intersectionality (Collins, 2019; Crenshaw, 1989; Porter et al., 2020) were used to guide this dissertation study of how Black women college students experience racial socialization and engage in spaces at PWIs. This study is a significant contribution to the literature as one of the few studies that seek to understand the complexity of intersecting systems of society that impact the experiences and lives of Black women at PWIs. The findings of this study showed that Black women college students experience racism and microaggressions that impact the way in which they engage private and public spaces at PWIs.

Show moreThe purpose of this study was to examine the opinions of institutional test administrators, guidance counselors, and students relative to the effects of the College-Level Academic Skills Test (CLAST) on black students in Florida. The attitudes regarding the CLAST test were secured through a thirty-four-statement survey instrument which was distributed to the sixty-seven CLAST testing centers statewide. All sixty-seven institutional test administrators and an equal number of guidance counselors, or some school personnel serving in a guidance position, from these same locations were asked to participate. Two hundred ten students from Florida Atlantic University and its feeder institutions were asked to participate in this study. The feeder institutions selected to participate were: Miami-Dade Community College, Broward Community College, and Palm Beach Junior College. Participants' responses were compared and analyzed. The chi square (X^2) test of significance was used to determine if statistically significant differences in opinions existed among the three groups. Cramer's Phi Coefficient and a modified Pearson's r were used to measure the strength and direction of the differences in opinions. Based on the statistical anlaysis from the data collected, the findings indicated that the status of the respondents had a significant effect on attitudes toward the CLAST program and its fairness to the black student. Institutional test administrators were very supportive of the CLAST program, while guidance counselors were generally nonsupportive. Students tended toward neutrality. This study concluded with this recommendation for further research: a study should be initiated to examine the support programs being provided to the minority students at all educational levels.
