Research Title: <\/strong>Higher Education: Student Success and Supplemented Educational Participation<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abstract: <\/strong>Support and inclusion are both foundational parts of a student\u2019s experience at community college campuses, inside and outside of the classroom (Zamani, 2016). Academicsupplemented programs such as McNair Trio, honor societies and non-academicsupplemental programs such as racial affinity groups purport to provide support and inclusion. The structure of supplemented programs\/clubs within the community college setting is the fundamental ideology behind my research. How does the student\u2019s participation in supplemented programs both academically and non-academically such as clubs and student organizations affect their academic success? After researching the topic of supplemented educational programs (Nelson-Brown, 2005), I found an underrepresented collection of research. The intended use of the term supplemented educational programs is to use the term to identify student clubs, organizations, memberships, and classes that do not accumulate credit towards a degree path. Identifiable programs are TRIO McNair, LGTBQ+ clubs and organizations, diversity club, Honors societies, etc. For the remainder of this literature review supplemented educational clubs both academic and non-academic will be referred to as supplemented student programs. Current research does identify a need for the student with specific relation to gender, race, or wealth (Zamani, 2016). My intended goal is to identify any correlations between supplemented student programs, groups, or clubs and the students\u2019 success. My demographic will be community college students, I will investigate the experiences of community college students from 4 different community college campuses exclusive to Washington State. Through structured interviews, I will sample the experiences of community college students in supplemented student programs. Administrators in supplemented student programs will also be interviewed regarding their perceptions of student experience. These interactions will be measured through interviews analyzed following generic qualitative analysis and reported student success rate through graduation. I acknowledge that all participating campuses will have varying degrees of club participation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
