Undocumented Experiences on a Sanctuary Campus Elaine C
Allard et al. “A Promise to Support Us:” Undocumented Experiences on a Sanctuary Campus Elaine C. Allard1 Jonathan Hamel Sellman Brandon Torres Sydnie Schwarz Freddy Bernardino Rebecca Castillo Swarthmore College Abstract This exploratory study examines the experiences of undocumented students at Hawthorne College, an elite, liberal arts institution with sanctuary status. Drawing primarily on a questionnaire and qualitative interviews, it considers 1) whether undocumented and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) students on a sanctuary campus experience the characteristic psychosocial difficulties that mark the lives of undocumented students elsewhere and 2) the extent to which institutional policies mitigate these challenges. The research reveals that sanctuary is neither a panacea for undocumented students’ concerns nor is it a meaningless symbol. Students are protected from some typical barriers to college success, experience other barriers in classic ways, and face still other constraints quite differently in a privileged, high- pressure educational environment. The study adds to emerging research on the undocumented experience in higher education and offers preliminary insights into the promises and limits of the sanctuary campus movement.

While 94% of undocumented teenagers attend high school (Migration Policy Institute, 2014), only 5-10% enroll in college, and even fewer graduate (Gonzáles, 2015). -

How Do Faculty Experience the University Mission?
1 How Do Faculty Experience the University Mission? A Descriptive Case Study of One University’s Approach to Its Core Values A thesis presented by Colleen Lynette Keirn To The School of Education In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education in the field of Education College of Professional Studies Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts December 2017 2 Abstract This research study captured the stories of 11 university faculty about their lived experiences with the university’s social justice mission. Key findings revealed: (a) faculty of color described experiencing racism on campus, (b) faculty of color felt marginalized on campus, (c) faculty developed their understanding of the mission over time, (d) the mission was experienced differently by faculty of color than by White faculty, (e) peer group support was vital for retaining faculty of color, and (f) there was little evidence of collective overt challenges to the dominant ideology of the university. The study used a case study methodology to understand how tenured and tenure-track faculty made meaning of and understood a university’s mission at a private university in the western United States. Campus documents were analyzed and 11 faculty members were interviewed. Data were analyzed using the in vivo coding method and were interpreted through a critical race theory framework. Results indicate that more can be done by universities in the United States to create inclusive campuses and to retain faculty of color. Suggestions for actionable steps are offered. These results are significant because they inform higher education leadership that the work of implementing their mission is never over and that the higher education community must continuously strive to be more inclusive, equitable, and accessible. -

2019 LPF-Greater Washington Annual Report
2019 ANNUAL REPORT G r e a t e r W a s h i n g t o n A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR Supporters, Even after six years of running Leveling the Playing Field in Washington DC I am still in awe of the support from our local youth sports community. We are so fortunate to be able to engage members of the Greater Washington community on a daily basis who feel passionately about what participation in youth sports can do for young people. It is that continued passion that led to 2019 being yet another year of deep impact for our program. Whether it was a holiday collection at The St James, a fundraiser at District Taco or being chosen as the beneficiary of the annual Morgan Stanley Tee Off for Tots Charity Golf Tournament, the perpetual investment from the community has allowed us to continue providing free sports equipment to schools and youth programs throughout the DC area. Without the support from the Washington Capitals and local youth hockey families we would not have been able to help St Mary’s Ryken HS launch a girls JV hockey program. If the local little leagues were not so willing to invite us to run collection drives at their games we would not be able to ensure that little leagues in SE DC could provide their families with free gear and keep their registration fees affordable. Were it not for local private schools bringing students to our warehouse to volunteer we would not be able to ensure that Title I schools are able to offer enhanced PE programming and after school sports activities. -

I was and continue to be impressed with the passion, skill, and joy our educators bring to the classroom. The progress DCPS made in recent years was only possible because of the extraordinary talent assembled here. Our schools and city are fortunate to have you, and we want you to feel supported and sustained in your careers. Recently, the National Council on Teacher Quality recognized DCPS as a Great District for Great Teachers, with an outstanding designation. We received this distinction for several reasons, one of which is the Leadership Initiative for Teachers career ladder, or LIFT. Through LIFT, exceptional teachers are recognized and rewarded for their continued service to DCPS. Because LIFT provides opportunities for teachers to take on leadership roles without having to leave the classroom, students directly benefit from their teachers’ professional growth. In order to continue that success, we must remain focused on ensuring excellence and equity throughout the district. -
