The purpose of this study was to investigate what contributes to Hispanic
student engagement and success. The research was twofold, and included 1) a
review of highly-engaging and Hispanic-serving community colleges’ programs,
practices, and services that contributed to Hispanic student success; and 2) an
investigation of Hispanic students’ experiences and relationships that contributed
to their success. This was a qualitative investigation to illuminate quantitative
data on four colleges across the United States that scored above-average on
three or more CCSSE Benchmarks in 2007. Eighteen Hispanic students who
were near degree or certificate completion and transfer were interviewed. This
research also included Recommendations for Research and Practice, all for the
purposes of promoting Hispanic student engagement and success in community
colleges. / text
