Retention at HBCU

However, few studies have considered collegiate-level bullying, though Walser deLara (2016) reported that bullying trauma from childhood extends past grade school through adulthood. Further, there are no studies that consider how HBCU (Historical Black Colleges and Universities) students deal with collegiate level bullying. Th erefore, this study examined fi rst-year HBCU students' reaction to bullying by utilizing the ASCA (American School Counselor Association) model to consider student behaviors. Th e fi ndings revealed that 47.27% of students rely on parental support and 85.71% of students walk away in reaction to bullying. Further, the Chi-Square analysis shows no diff erence who men and women at HBCUs seek for support. keywords— college student bullying, HBCUs, ASCA model contact— leah.hollis@morgan.edu

Background/Context: Although research on college and university presidents has grown in recent decades, historically Black college and university (HBCU) presidents have rarely been
included in this research. We know almost nothing about the pathways to the HBCU presidency or the role that current presidents play in grooming future presidents. More literature is
needed in order to deepen our understanding of the HBCU presidency.
Purpose: With this study, we sought to capture the background characteristics of HBCU leaders, to lay the ground work for future studies on HBCU presidents, and to understand the role these leaders play in grooming and mentoring the next generation of HBCU leaders.
Research Design: In order to answer our research questions, we used a combination a surveys, document analysis, and qualitative interviews.
Conclusions and Recommendations: Our conclusions and recommendations point to a recycling of presidents at HBCUs as well as the disproportionate presence of long-term presidencies. Moreover, although grooming of future presidents is taking place, it is not systematic and would benefit from deeper thought and commitment.

Can a mindset intervention built into a freshmen development course
and developed after years of longitudinal research have a positive
impact on the outlook, achievement, and persistence of first generation
and under-prepared students attending a minority serving institution?
For many new college students, freshman year can be an exciting and
daunting experience. Freshmen development courses are designed to
help excite, prepare, and orient students into the college experience
predicated on enhancing student success. The concept of “grit’ as a set
of traits that lead to the persistence and perseverance to complete longterm goals in the face of obstacles has been a focus in academia for the past 12 years. It’s often coupled with such concepts as Growth Mindset, Clarity of Purpose, and Self-Efficacy
