This group of first-generation college students, historically, has not had as high educational attainment as majoritygroups have. As the population of Latino/as continues to grow it can be projected that this groupwill experience significant growth and supersede other populations in college enrollment23.One study investigated the effects of whether American universities cultural norms (i.e., normsof independence) serve as a disadvantage for first-generation college students35.

Courses included Plane Analytic Geometry and Calculus I (MA 161),General Chemistry (CHM 115), Engineering Problems Solving and Computer Tools (ENGR106) and First Year Composition (ENGL 106). The courses were not offered for credit towardgraduation but exposed students to the dynamics of time management, study skills, test takingskills and teacher/professor relationship building to maximize subject mastery. Various extracurricular activities were implemented into the program in order to give thestudents a well-rounded experience.

style that is dominant. In traditional lecture classesstudents with the first three styles might find it more difficult to learn since they are not providedwith the experiences they need to master the material. Since it is difficult for them to understand,memorize, recall and meaningfully apply abstract concepts and formulas they will also haveproblems with examinations. In an unbiased population each learning style is equallyrepresented. If we project that 25% of the population fall in each learning style, approximately75% of the class will have problems mastering material that is presented in a lecture format.This becomes obvious when looking at test results. Few students have full mastery of theconcepts and, therefore, few score 100% on the

The findings from this study also support the idea that students withdifferent ethnic and social identities can have different views and experiences regarding diversity, inclusion,and equity in their campus.
