The purpose of this study was to examine the voices of Latino/a Senior Student
Affairs Officers (SSAOs) in terms of described challenges in becoming a SSAO and how
the intersection of race influences their lived experiences as SSAOs at selected public
and private two- and four-year colleges and universities in the U.S. Latino/a SSAOs are
dramatically underrepresented in American colleges and universities. The lived
experiences of this unique group have been ignored in existing empirical literature.
A particular focus of this research was to gain a better understanding of how
Latino/a SSAOs experience and respond to what they perceive as racism, if any, and/or
other forms of discrimination during this experience. The theoretical lens used in this
research study was Critical Race Theory (CRT). / Includes bibliography. / Dissertation (Ph.D.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2015. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection
