The Role of Student Leadership In International Service Learning: A Literature Review

In the field of international service learning (ISL), there is much debate about the quality of the academic component of alternative break programs, a popular concept in the world of student programming in higher education today. Alternative break programs allow students to travel, both domestically and internationally, and serve during their university breaks as well as participate in classes meant to expand their understanding of the culture, history, and social problems of the area they are working in. Some institutions offer course credit for international alternative break programs. To increase the transformative power of these programs, institutions will often allow student leaders to take control of planning, including designing and teaching classes. This project aims to raise the question: what effects, both positive and negative, does student leadership have on these programs? I conduct a literature review of publications in the realm of ISL, explore models from the alternative break movement, and also use my personal experience with leadership of international alternative break programs to illustrate the lessons learned related to student leadership. Additional queries raised include: Is the goal to give students ownership of their learning and create collaboration between peers reached at the cost of a quality academic understanding of the experience as a whole? How does student leadership affect the role of reflection? Further research opportunities are also discussed

Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) Serving as a Community Cultural Wealth for African Americans Who Enroll in STEM Doctoral Programs

The purpose of this multiple case study was to gain a more in-depth understanding of how Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) serve as a form of Community Cultural Wealth for African American students and how HBCUs impact their decision to pursue a science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) doctoral degree. In order to conduct this research study, in-depth, semi-structured interviews were used as the primary data sources. Additional data sources included demographic surveys, photo elicitation, and online resources. The primary research question used to guide this study included: • What aspects of CCW do African American students at HBCUs believe influence and assist them in enrolling in STEM doctoral programs? Additionally, the following questions were included to guide this study: • How do the experiences of African Americans at an HBCU affect their decision to enroll in a doctoral program? • What factors impacted African American students from HBCUs decision to enroll into a doctoral program? The questions were posed to explore the connection between African Americans who attend HBCUS and their enrollment into a STEM doctoral program. The main themes that emerged from the data were the following: (a) HBCUs serve as a source of Community Cultural Wealth in a number of ways; (b) faculty and peer to peer engagement; (c) exposure to research; (d) an aligned research agenda within the doctoral program; (e) a supportive graduate school environment; and (f) financial assistance to pursue a PhD. The findings were interpreted and situated in the context of existing literature and the conceptual framework of Community Cultural Wealth. Implications for policy/practice, study limitations, recommendations for future study, and the conclusion were also presented
