Abstract This research explored how 47 first generation college students at a private university in the Northeast used non-profit and government-funded college access and support programs to make meaning of their college-going journeys. The participants used college access programs to prepare themselves for, gain access to, and persist at a selective postsecondary institution directly after high school. This research asked what skills and knowledge do first generation college students learn through their college access and support programs? How do first generation college students use the skills and knowledge they obtained through their college access and support programs to help navigate their college-going journeys? Using the theoretical frameworks of Communities of Cultural Wealth (Yosso, 2005, 2006) and critical theory (Kincheloe & McLaren, 2002), I analyzed the participants’ counterstories and uncovered how first generation college students used college access and success programs to navigate a historically classed and raced education system.

  • Artfusion News a Publication of Marymount Manhattan College - Issue No
    Artfusion News A publication of Marymount Manhattan College - Issue No. 7 - Spring 2011 Artfusion News Artfusion News serves as an open forum to learn about, discuss, advocate, and enjoy cultural activities in and around New York. The magazine, founded in Spring 2008, serves as a public voice for students of all majors who are interested in exploring and sharing their ideas on various forms of cultural expression, including art, music, dance, theater, and film. Artfusion News contains works by practicing visual and performing artists, and interviews with Marymount students, alumni, and professors who are working in art-related fields. We also count on students to keep us posted on cultural activities abroad. As an interdisciplinary newspaper, we invite students to write articles and editorials on intersections among the arts, sciences, humanities, business, and social sciences. We hope, ultimately, to enrich the cultural awareness of all Marymount students by investigating and celebrating the limitless and unparalleled artistic and educational resources available to us through our distinct location—the heart of a great cultural capital—and beyond. This edition of Artfusion News is dedicated to Americans for the Arts, the nation’s leading nonprofit organization for advancing the cause of arts in America. Founded in 1960 and now with offices in Washington, DC, and New York, it represents and serves local communities, and is dedicated to creating opportunities for all Americans to participate in the arts. In recent lobbying efforts, it helped to restore cuts to the proposed FY 2011 budgets of the National Endowment for the Arts and the Humanities. It also helped to ensure that the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and the Smithsonian Institution did not incur additional cuts to their budgets.

    connectCWT’s business travel magazine | UK & Ireland | Spring 2020 Hotel strategy Creating a “more with less” hotel strategy Risk & reward Mapping risks for travellers, no matter where they go Getting personal How data and machine learning are changing travel SMARTER VIENNA The Austrian capital is packed with history but it is embracing the future connect 1/2020 – Editorial 3 Welcome to our first issue of Connect for 2020! he world is changing at a rapid pace and understanding the impact of new technologies is not always as immediately clear as we would like it to be. It’s no different in business travel. T A major challenge for travel managers is to come up with a strategy for cutting hotel spending without reducing the number of business trips that a company does. As our article on this topic (pages 8–13) highlights, however, it is possible. It comes from continuously monitor- ing spend, spotting opportunities, diversifying your rate mix to ensure you drive savings, and using traveller-engagement tools to drive hotel programme compliance. The Austrian capital of Vienna is a city that has similarly embraced the opportunities afforded by new technologies. Vienna is recognised as a world-leading “smart city”, and as our article shows (pages 14–17), it uses “interconnected digital solutions” to modern urban challenges. ... a strategy Also in this issue of Connect, we find out why it’s so vital to assess risks when travelling, look at ways to keep fit in your hotel room and review for cutting our sustainable-focused 2019 CWT Connect conference.
