Summary note

"Immigrants and the children of immigrants make up nearly a third of the college-age population and immigrant-origin students are more likely to attend community colleges than their native-born peers. Despite this, little is known about the challenges, experiences and triumphs of immigrant-origin community college students. The book draws on data from the Research on Immigrants in Community College Study (RICC). Each chapter highlights a different aspect of the immigrant-origin community college experience, including the specific challenges these students face, the role of classrooms and campus settings, the importance of relationships, their expectations and outcomes, and key recommendations for policy and practice. This groundbreaking book is the first to concentrate specifically on immigrant-origin students in community colleges applying a mixed-methods approach using both qualitative and quantitative data to present a holistic and resilience-based perspective of this important and growing population" -- Provided by publisher.
