Simple December, 2019 RACE-BASED EXPERIENCES OF BLACK COLLEGE STUDENTS ATTENDING PREDOMINATELY WHITE INSTITUTIONS by Santana R. Simple ______________ APPROVED: Richard C. Henriksen, PhD Dissertation Director Sinem Akay-Sullivan, PhD Committee Member Richard E. Watts, PhD Committee Member Stacey Edmonson, EdD Dean, College of Education DEDICATION My entire doctoral journey has been a combination of many factors that often superseded my understanding. To my Lord and Creator, thank you for giving me the desire to learn and serve others. This journey has challenged me to grow, believe, learn the meaning of commitment, and sacrifice. Your infinite wisdom and love placed all the vessels I ever needed to accomplish this task. Thank you for allowing the sixth great- granddaughter of a slave to achieve what so many have sacrificed to make possible. Momma, I miss you every day, but the life you lived, showed me that all things are possible through Christ. At 18, I felt unprepared to face the world without you; the love, guidance, grace, and wisdom you shared with us sustains me every day. Daddy, who would I be without you? You have always been right where I needed you the most pushing me. Because of your love, you helped me believe in myself when everything around me said I would not make it.
