Description - Immigrant Students and Higher Education by Eunyoung Kim
Immigrant populations, growing quickly in both size and
diversity, have become an important segment of the U.S. college
student population, one that will profoundly transform the
educational landscape and workforce in coming decades.
Nevertheless, immigrant students in higher education are often
inaccurately characterized and largely misunderstood.
In response to this alarming disconnect, this monograph reviews and
synthesizes the existing body of literature on immigrant students,
with special attention placed on transitions to college and
collegiate experiences. The authors lay a foundation for future
research and draw out implications for policies and practices that
will better serve the educational needs of this growing
population.
This is the 6th issue of the 38th volume of the Jossey-Bass
series ASHE Higher Education Report. Each monograph
is the definitive analysis of a tough higher education issue, based
on thorough research of pertinent literature and institutional
experiences. Topics are identified by a national survey. Noted
practitioners and scholars are then commissioned to write the
reports, with experts providing critical reviews of each manuscript
before publication.
