• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The author grew up as an at-risk individual. Through
her personal hardships, Dr. Mullen was able to
overcome challenges and become a successful college
student and professional. Thus, her passion for
resiliency in at-risk youth and college students is a
path she knows well. In this book, she examined
resiliency factors in at-risk college students,
providing insight and strategies for college
administrators and professors who have a genuine
desire to attract and retain students. The author
explored and captured insight of three college
students who were at risk, yet made it through
college. The findings in these stories reveal
evidence that proves students who are at-risk have a
harder time obtaining a college degree
than non-at-risk students. The students in
this research explain their personal burdens and the
tools they used to jump the hurdles to
success.
