Understanding the Academic Experiences of Understudied Disadvantaged Students
Using data data from a large-scale social belonging intervention four talks examine the academic experiences of understudied disadvantaged undergraduates: ESL students, high-weight students, students with disabilities, and multiracial students. Results highlight the need for more research on these students and suggest that performance and persistence are improved by the intervention.
