Alfonso, who grew up in a economically marginalized area ofthe city (US) and who was a first-generation college student, also highlighted the direct supportof key teachers and mentors; in middle school, he was inspired by Coach B, and named thesupport of the TRIO program, while in high school he was positively influenced by his APCalculus teacher, Mr. W. In Alfonso’s case, his school-based teachers and mentors played astronger role in influencing his pathway to engineering than his family.Discussion and ConclusionsIn this paper we analyzed ethnographic data sources, focusing on in-depth
possible to determine the effects of countrycontext on uncertainty avoidance and power distance among students in the U.S.Gathering students’ perspectives to understand the predictive nature of uncertainty avoidanceand country/national culture on power distance in the context of U.S. higher education issignificant to a) inform higher education administrators of the classroom culture at theirinstitutions, and b) modify and transform the classroom interaction between students andteachers for successful learning. Hence, this study was undertaken with the primary researchquestions: ● To what extent, if any, does uncertainty avoidance significantly predict power distance among students in the U.S.? ● To what extent, if any, does country

In addition, the institutions, nearly all designated“Hispanic-Serving Institutions,” vary in institutional infrastructure, leading to differing access tostudent level data and comparison data.
