Hmong American College Students: a Qualitative Study on The HMONG AMERICAN COLLEGE STUDENTS: A QUALITATIVE STUDY ON THE FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE AND MOTIVATE COLLEGE GOING by Malisa Lee A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy (Higher Education) in the University of Michigan 2015 Dissertation Committee: Professor Edward P. St. John, Chair Professor Phillip J. Bowman Associate Professor Deborah F. Carter, Claremont Graduate College Professor Mieko Yoshihama Copyright © 2015 Malisa Lee DEDICATION I would like to dedicate this dissertation to my courageous and supportive parents, Yong Sue and True Xiong Lee, who sacrificed everything to give my siblings and I a better life; my loving and hard working husband Adam Thor, who stood by my side every step of the way; and my thoughtful daughter Sophie who inspires me everyday to be a better person. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This dissertation is a culmination of a long educational journey, made possible with the support and guidance of many individuals who invested in my professional and intellectual growth and success. I wish to express my thanks to: To my father and mother, Yong Sue and True Xiong Lee, for their unwavering love and support. I am eternally grateful they did not see my gender as a limitation, even when our community did. They supported my educational and scholarly journey and empowered me to believe I could accomplish anything I set my mind to. Without them, there would not have been a journey to begin with. To my siblings: Tha Lee, Chris Lee, Elizabeth Lee, Mary Lee, and Alex Lee, for being super siblings and always believing in me. They inspired me everyday to work hard and persevere. I am lucky and proud to call them my brothers and sisters. To my heroic sister in-law, Kao V. Lee and courageous brother in-laws Dante Sutera and Charlie Mitchell, for their never-ending support along this journey. To my husband Adam Thor and daughter Sophie Thor, for providing me with the most loving, patient, supportive, and caring cheer team during the dissertation. They add color to my life and laughter to fill my heart. Their encouragement was essential to my success and consistently renewed my commitment to getting finished. To my committee members: Edward P. St. John, Deborah Carter, Phillip Bowman, and Mieko Yoshihama, for their support and guidance during the dissertation process. Thank you for believing in me and providing me with helpful and valuable feedback to improve my dissertation. It is a better dissertation because of you all. To my advisor, Edward P. St John, for believing in me and offering an environment which challenged and supported my growth and development as a student, professional, and a scholar. From day one, I was encouraged to pursue my own ambitions and explore new ideas. I would not have made it through the program if it had not been for Ed’s commitment to my success. It has been a privilege being his student. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from a leader in the field and scholar truly committed to student success. To my CSHPE Cohort: Anat Levtov, Carmen McCallum, Elizabeth Hudson, Woo-Jeong Shim, Shelley Strikland, Pelema Morrice, and Nancy Alee, for their unwavering support and guidance iii which motivated me to keep moving forward with my scholarly journey. Thank you for being wonderful friends and colleagues. To Woo-Jeong Shim, for her helpful roles as a friend, peer-debriefer, collaborator, and scholarly sounding board when I felt lost and uncertain. She provided me with helpful perspectives during data analysis and challenged be to be authentic to myself. To Liesa Hull, for her dedication to seeing me to the finish line and reading (multiple times!) drafts of this dissertation. To all the participants in this study, who put their trust in me and shared their story with me. Thank you. To all others who contributed to my educational pathway and believed in me, thank you. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS DEDICATION ............................................................................................................................ ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ...................................................................................................... iii LIST OF TABLES .................................................................................................................. viii LIST OF FIGURES .................................................................................................................... ix LIST OF APPENDICES ............................................................................................................. x ABSTRACT ............................................................................................................................... xi Chapter 1.

They started a school, traveled to West Virginia to build houses for Habitat for Humanity, created a professional show for a gallery, wrote public policy, not to mention all the individualized projects they have embarked on. So, how could they share a slice of that experience? It was a daunting task but in the last weeks of their high school careers, we asked them to write their “final words.” These words would serve as a farewell to the school, their community and as a keepsake of all they take with them on their next journey.

  • Mind the Gap: How Economically Disadvantaged Students Navigate Elite Private Schools in Ontario
    MIND THE GAP: HOW ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS NAVIGATE ELITE PRIVATE SCHOOLS IN ONTARIO by William George Peat A dissertation submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Leadership, Higher and Adult Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by William George Peat 2020 MIND THE GAP: HOW ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS NAVIGATE ELITE PRIVATE SCHOOLS IN ONTARIO William George Peat Doctor of Philosophy Department of Leadership, Higher and Adult Education University of Toronto 2020 Abstract “Mind the gap” is a qualitative study rooted in the sociology of education, dealing with educational inequality in Canada. It asked: what is the experience of working-class students in elite secondary schools, and are the benefits of achieving social mobility worth the costs? In a country whose populace has long seen itself as middle class, but where social inequality is a growing concern and social mobility increasingly rare, the study examined the journey of three working-class students seeking to become upwardly mobile by attending elite private schools in Ontario. The study examined their experiences, and employed a combination of semistructured, in-depth interviews, and follow-up conversations. It also drew on relationships that formed as a result of them, as well as on the researcher’s knowledge of the culture of the schools the students attended. In addition, it drew upon the lived experience of the researcher, who shares similar elements of the participants’ socioeconomic background. The data produced was used to develop literary and visual portraits. The process was collaborative and enabled the participants to become co-creators in the creation of their portraits, which were subject to analyses.

  • This Is the Speech Written and Read by the Class of 2021'S Salutatorian
    This is the speech written and read by the Class of 2021’s Salutatorian, Mia Nguyen at Graduation on June 7, 2021. Good evening family, friends, faculty, and DePaul Catholic’s Class of 2021. Thank you for joining us as we reach the end of this chapter of our lives and prepare ourselves to embark on the next one. First off, I would like to thank my parents, teachers, coaches, and classmates for supporting me throughout my entire academic journey and for shaping me into the person I am today. I would not be standing here without you all and on behalf of the entire graduating class of 2021, I would like to say I am eternally grateful for the love and encouragement we have received over the past four years. The sacrifices made by our parents to provide us with a Catholic education and the dedication of our teachers and coaches to guide us along the way are truly appreciated by us all and we cannot thank you enough for the time and energy you have put into providing us with so many unique opportunities. Coming into high school, all of our parents and upperclassmen were quick to warn us that our time here would pass us by in the blink of an eye and that we truly needed to cherish every moment we had. Like many of my classmates, I was hesitant to believe there could be any truth laced within those words as my senior year felt as though it was an eternity away. However, four years later standing here in my cap and gown getting ready to leave my high school career behind, I have to admit that every one of them was right.
