For this she focused on Latinx college students and their mental health in higher education institutions. She then went on to collaborate with former McNair Director Dra. Christina Torres Garc\u00eda and fellow McNair Scholar Alexandria Coronado in the summer of 2021 on The Implication of COVID-19 for First-Generation, Low-Income Students in WA State<\/em>, which they presented at Council for Opportunity in Education\u2019s 40th Annual Conference.

Research Title: First-Generation Students’ Academic Experience: The Role of Institutional Supports during a Pandemic<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abstract:<\/strong> The Latinx population has now become the largest minority group in the United States (Mart\u00ednez & Rhodes, 2020). However, Latinx first-generation students still fall behind non-Latinx students in educational achievement. This study seeks to examine the Latinx first-generation academic experience amidst a pandemic, with an emphasis on looking at their perceived stress related to academics, their academic self-efficacy, and their knowledge\/feelings toward the institutional supports. The roles of institutional and familial supports are examined as well as the factors contributing to the educational achievement gap including language, cultural barriers, socioeconomic status, lack of funding, lack of diverse faculty, lack of access to educational resources, and a lack of educational knowledge. The psychological effects that the educational gap has on Latinx first-generation students are also examined in terms of social emotions, stress and coping, and academic self-efficacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
