Abstract | Black male retention rates in college tend to be lower than they are for Asians, Whites, and Latino males as well as their gendered counterparts in college. Various factors play a role in the higher attrition rates of Black males in higher education. However, there are programmatic initiatives that can contribute to the academic and career success of these students. For example, living-learning communities are recognized as a high impact practice for student engagement. Moreover, these high impact practices, such as first experiences courses, study abroad, and undergraduate research, contribute to student matriculation and retention. Therefore, this article will detail how the authors contributed to creating the Jamii House, a residential learning community charged with improving the graduation rates of Black males at a research-intensive university in the northeastern U.S. [Discussion questions developed by Dan Pedersen and Zac Birch.] (As Provided). |
