LATINO COLLEGE STUDENT ATHLETES AS NEPANTLERAS: FOSTERING ACADEMIC SUCCESS AND ATHLETIC IDENTITY AT TWO NCAA DIVISION II INSTITUTIONS A Dissertation Presented by Carlos E. Vega to The Faculty of the Graduate College of The University of Vermont In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Specializing in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies May, 2019 Defense Date: March 26, 2019 Dissertation Examination Committee: Vijay Kanagala, Ph.D., Advisor V. Ernesto Mendez, Ph.D., Chairperson Deborah E. Hunter, Ph.D. Alan Tinkler, Ph.D. Cynthia J. Forehand, Ph.D., Dean of the Graduate College ABSTRACT Collegiate athletic programs at National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division II institutions in the United States serve a two-fold purpose. They offer aspiring student athletes access to college and opportunities to play competitive college sports. Consequently, student athletes at Division II institutions experience personal and institutional pressures to compete for championships while achieving academic success. Increasing demands on today’s college student athletes’ athletic participation and performance has a multitude of consequences that could influence their academic performance and success in college. Simultaneously, these institutions and athletic programs are also witnessing another phenomenon – a transformation in their student population. Latino college student athlete matriculation continues to increase every year, mirroring their non-student athlete counterparts in higher education. Their increased enrollment on these college campuses necessitates higher education researchers to better understand this understudied population. In furthering that endeavor, this inquiry sought to illuminate an overarching research question: how does a Latino college athlete’s racial identity influence their academic success and athletic performance? Guided by Gloria Anzaldúa’s Theory of Borderlands (Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza, 2012), this two-part qualitative study invited seven Latino college student athletes’ to examine their racial-ethnic identity, their academic success, and their athletic participation in Division II competitive sports. Through 12 semi-structured open-ended interviews, the researcher examined the intersections between Latino student athletes’ motivation to do well in their respective sport and their motivation to perform well academically. Among the major findings of this study, participants strongly identified themselves as Nepantleras – border crossers who possessed an intrinsic ability to seamlessly cross the world of academics and the world of athletics. Their movement across these dual world realities, in addition to balancing the expectations of their Latino familias y culturas, resulted in the participants rejecting the idea of one or the other (student or athlete) and claiming a singular identity: Soy Estudiante Deportista. Understanding and engaging with Latino college student athletes’ academic and athletic experiences at Division II institutions is vital for college faculty, athletic directors, coaches, student affairs professionals, and institutional administrators invested in their success. This study offers these institutional agents recommendations to best support their student athletes. Keywords: Latino Student Athletes, Nepantla, Student Athletes, Division II, NCAA, Academic Success ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First, I would like to thank the late Rev. Dr. Michael Cronogue, SSE. When I initially started my doctoral journey, Father Mike was always a source of encouragement and would always make time for me, and listen to my ideas for this dissertation. He always talked about the importance of attending every class, and how receiving his doctorate at the University of Vermont was a very important achievement for him. He was one of the most selfless individuals I have ever met, and he is very missed. To my family who have always encouraged education in my life, and who put up with my academically troubled childhood. I am where I am because of their love and encouragement. They were a great deal of support in listening to my thoughts for countless hours, or strongly reminding me to take care of myself and get some sleep. I would not be here without the help of all of my family members! This is especially true for my mother and father who sacrificed so much, not only in raising me, but in bringing my siblings and myself to this country for a better educational future. To coach Wade Jean, I want to thank you for giving me access to your professional network which allowed me to find participants and institutions for this study. I also appreciate all the time you spent informing me on the latest trends in collegiate athletics, along with rules and regulations in Division II. But most importantly, I want to thank you for being a great friend. To my committee members: Dr. Deborah Hunter, Dr. Allen Tinkler, and Dr. Ernesto Mendez. Thank you for all of the advice and encouragement you have provided to me! You are all very busy people, and I appreciate all of the time that you have put into edits and helping to develop this dissertation. ii Last but not least, to my advisor Dr. Vijay Kanagala. You have gone above and beyond your duties as my advisor. For the hours we spent on getting me to graduation, hours and hours of skype and in person advising, navigating IRB, and even extending your home to me for amazing dinners throughout the years. I appreciate everything you’ve done for me, and want you to know I am forever grateful for you, and honored to be your first doctoral advisee! iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS .................................................................................... ii LIST OF TABLES ................................................................................................. vi LIST OF FIGURES .............................................................................................. vii CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION ........................................................................... 1 Problem Statement .............................................................................................. 4 Purpose of Study ................................................................................................. 5 Theoretical Framework ....................................................................................... 5 Research Questions ............................................................................................. 7 Latino/a/x ............................................................................................................ 7 Definitions........................................................................................................... 8 Limitations ........................................................................................................ 11 Summary ........................................................................................................... 12 CHAPTER 2: REVIEW OF LITERATURE ........................................................ 13 Latino College Students in Higher Education .................................................. 13 Student Athletes ................................................................................................ 17 Latino Athletes .................................................................................................. 19 College Choice for Student athletes. ................................................................. 21 Coach’s Influence ............................................................................................. 22 Athletic Scholarships ........................................................................................ 24 Familismo ......................................................................................................... 28 La Frontera: Nepantla & Nepantleras ............................................................. 30 Confianza .......................................................................................................... 33 Faculty and Staff ............................................................................................... 34 NCAA Divisional Differences .......................................................................... 35 Division II ......................................................................................................... 38 Academic Success ............................................................................................

  • Michael Landau
    Michael Landau Musician and composer Michael Landau was born and raised in Los Angeles. He grew up with the music of The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Cream and The Band. His grandfather arranged and played woodwinds during the swing era with the Dorsey Brothers and Benny Goodman. In his early teens, Michael quickly became very interested in jazz and electric jazz music. Weather Report, Pat Martino and Jaco Pastorius were some of his early obsessions. From this diverse blend of influence, his sound and path began to take shape. His current group focuses on the improvisation and spontaneity of live shows. "I live for those live moments when the sound and emotion becomes this monstrous force bigger than the individual musicians, it becomes a unique creation and feel, exciting and calming at the same time, difficult to describe but I'm addicted to it." The following is a brief timeline of events over the years. Michael starting playing guitar at age 11, at age 16 he began playing the L.A. club scene with an R&B band and shortly after he toured the west coast with Robben Ford which included band members Jimmy Haslip and Russell Ferrante. At age 19 he joined Boz Scaggs for a world tour and by the age of 20 he started to do session work on the recommendation of long time friend Steve Lukather. Some session highlights over the coming years would include Pink Floyd, Miles Davis, Joni Mitchell, BB King, James Taylor, Ray Charles and Rod Stewart. There is a complete session discography at allmusic.com with over 700 records and soundtracks listed.
