Academic success is linked to a feeling of campus belonging.

Campus climate is an important factor for academic success among ethnic minority students.

Academic self esteem is associated with academic success.

Are these relationships true among community college students?

Page 3: Do Student Perceptions of Cultural Climate and Social Support Predict Academic Success?

White students report higher levels of campus belonging than African American, Latino and Asian students.

Ethnic minority students often report lower academic efficacy than White students.

Page 4: Do Student Perceptions of Cultural Climate and Social Support Predict Academic Success?

Little is known about the impact of student perceptions on academic success among community college students.

However, African American and Hispanic students have less success obtaining educational goals than Asian and White students.

The present study will compare perceptions among four ethnic groups at CRC.

We will examine whether perceptions are associated with student success.

African Americans: No relationship between Cultural congruity, social support, mentoring, academic self efficacy and GPA.

Asians: Academic self efficacy correlated with GPA.

Caucasians: Cultural congruity positively correlated with GPA, social support negatively correlated with GPA.

Latinos: Mentoring and Academic efficacy correlated with GPA.

Page 33: Do Student Perceptions of Cultural Climate and Social Support Predict Academic Success?

Fail to support previous findings among University students: in lack of relationship between student

perceptions and academic success among African Americans.

African Americans have the highest levels of cultural fit and academic efficacy.

Cultural congruity is associated with Academic success only among Caucasians.

Mentoring was not associated with Academic success among Asians, Caucasians and African Americans.

Page 34: Do Student Perceptions of Cultural Climate and Social Support Predict Academic Success?

Assessing SLOs at the college level. Stimulating campus discussions on equity

issues. Obtaining student feedback as to the findings of

the survey. Development of student support programs and

courses. Providing data to support the planning process. Providing student perception data to improve

campus teaching and learning.

Page 35: Do Student Perceptions of Cultural Climate and Social Support Predict Academic Success?

Why is social support and mentoring not associated with academic success?

How can you explain the lack of relationship between academic efficacy and GPA among African American and Caucasian students? What implications does this have for the classroom?

What are some possible explanations for the finding that cultural fit was only associated with GPA among Caucasian students?

What are some possible explanations for the lower cultural congruity scores among Asian students?
