Cultural Brokering: Insights to College Career Counselors from Colleagues In Diversity Offices

This qualitative case study sought to capture insights from professional staff trained to serve diverse student populations in colleges to inform additional staff in better serving underrepresented students. Higher education student populations have changed drastically over the past several decades, representing greater diversity in American colleges and universities, necessitating enhanced practice in counseling and advising diverse students. The case study research sought to better understand needs of traditionally underrepresented students in 4-year predominantly White institutions (PWIs) through the lens of professional staff in diversity-focused positions within the colleges and universities. Critical race theory (CRT), sociocultural theory, and positive psychology were used to frame and develop the study. This qualitative study examined how diverse college students are being served from the perspective of diversity professionals in one northern Midwest bi-state region, to inform career counselors and other student affairs professionals who collaborate with students throughout their educational experience. Questionnaires, in-person interviews, and researcher field notes were used and coded to identify emergent themes surrounding the support of diverse college students in specified PWIs. Key findings, including connectedness, support networks, cultural validation, holistic advising, and advocacy, can be used to inform all staff and faculty in better retaining and developing diverse student talent in the region, and in a broader sense

Predicted and hot-film measured Tollmien-Schlichting wave characteristics

The Tollmien-Schlichting (TS) instability is a time-dependence instability which can lead to transition of laminar boundary layers on airfoils. A comparison of theoretical predictions and experimental observations of the TS instability on the NLF(1)-0414F airfoil designed by Viken and Pfenninger. The theoretical predictions were obtained using the SALLY stability code. Test results, from the same hot films that were used to detect transition, revealed that TS waves could be detected by the hot films if the hot-film signal was adequately modified

Assessing Factors Influencing Acceptance of No-Difference Research

In this randomized study 160 members of the Evaluation Research Society acted as judges to assess the attributes of research that produce credibility. The study focused on acceptability of no-difference findings, a long ignored but important domain of research. In the context of a hypothetical study, four factors were tested to determine their influence on acceptability of both no-difference and difference findings: randomization/nonran domization, one/three outcomes, power = .80/.60, and equivalence on baseline measures of all eight/all but two of eight. Experts were asked to judge degree of acceptability and to reject or accept findings in both a no-difference and a difference study. Randomization consistently enhanced the believability of outcomes whereas other factors exerted a less consistent influence. Limitations of the study were discussed.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/66931/2/10.1177_0193841X8701100108.pd
