The purpose of this study is to investigate faculty health and well-being (H&W; SDG#3) in a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) and how these professionals seek to re-establish their health during the COVID-19 pandemic. Recent research has shown that H&W concerns from COVID-19 are much higher among Hispanics than Whites (Pew Research Center, 2020), and COVID-19 is affecting Hispanics at an alarming rate (CNN, 2020). Understanding how COVID-19 is affecting Hispanic faculty’s H&W is paramount as literature has shown that faculty H&W are important to the success of their students, their profession, and their institutions of higher education. However, few studies have explored H&W for faculty in an HSI. The study explores how these professionals re-establish their H&W during the pandemic. The study takes place in an HSI in South Texas. Survey method with convenience sampling (n = 50), followed by one-on-one in-depth interviews with purposive sampling (n = 5) are conducted. Based on the Hetler’s H&W model and referenced to the Travis’ and Ardell’s models, all aspects of H&W are inquired (physical, emotional, social, spiritual, vocational, and intellectual health). Quantitative data are analyzed using statistical methods. 86% of participants reveal that this pandemic has decreased their H&W. 75% of participants indicate they thought about building or re-establishing their H&W. However, only 30% of participants reveal they actually implement their H&W plans. Qualitative data are analyzed using thematic analysis methods. Several themes emerge: (1) H&W challenges faculty face, such as increased stress from work, family, and children at home; (2) their awareness and attempts of re-establishment of H&W, such as needs to be more organized, eat better, and exercise more; (3) recommendations from faculty that echo UN’s H&W tips, such as of staying home more, keeping social distancing, enjoying things in life, sleeping, exercising, having balanced diet, and a positive mental attitude.

This article challenges the notion of underachievement of Latino male collegians by examining those who successfully enter higher education. Using in-depth interviews, we analyze the way three different institutional types contribute to the racial/ethnic identity salience of Latinos, looking specifically at the curricular and co-curricular structures available at a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) and emerging HSI in comparison with non-HSIs. Findings reveal differences in identity salience based on the college context.

Abstract Motivation to seek higher education is rarely examined in Hispanic first-generation graduate students, those whose parents have not attended college, and there is less literature examining those whose desire for education extends to a master’s degree in counseling. The purpose of this study was to conduct a phenomenological examination of the desire to attend college among first-generation Hispanic students enrolled in a counselor education program. One-hour taped interviews were conducted with three volunteer participants enrolled in a graduate counseling program at a Texas university designated as a Hispanic-serving institution. Meaning units and constituents were extracted, and a general structure was developed using the Descriptive Phenomenological Method (Giorgi, 1985). The phenomenological analysis resulted in one structure that identifies the influence of respected others; resilience and self-efficacy; self-denial; a need for distinction and career satisfaction; spirituality; altruism; and a view of commitment to a counseling degree as a nonlinear process.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect reflective coping, suppressive coping, and reactive coping had on stress and indicators of well-being among Hispanic undergraduate students ( N = 177) from a Hispanic Serving Institution. Findings demonstrate that both reactive and suppressive coping had separate but important moderating effects on perceived stress and well-being outcomes. Perceived stress was also associated with both depressive symptoms and life satisfaction indirectly through copying styles.

The use of online course delivery has been promoted at many institutions of higher education as a way to provide greater access to students in a variety of degree programs. The lack of emphasis of online pedagogical strategies has left many faculty members to not consider teaching online, while administrators look for ways to increase revenue through enrollment with limited classroom space on campus. In this paper, the reasons faculty who have taught not online are explored and examined, while providing insight into the motivations of teaching online that could lead to increased participation within distance learning frameworks. Currently, universities across the globe are continuously challenged to provide increased opportunities to non-traditional students without increasing tuition for students or the overall operating budget. As most non-traditional students are not able to attend their classes in a full-time status, many universities are now encouraging and developing a strong distance education program across their institutions. Although distance learning does in fact provide non-traditional students the opportunity of higher education the integrity of university must not be lost, and the following case study of a Hispanic Serving Institution in the Southwest United states is a good example of how universities must consider the consequences and not just the benefits that online teaching has to offer.

This study developed and examined the implementation of an intrusive peer-to-peer coaching program model at a private 4-year master’s degree granting Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) located in South Texas. The coaching program provided support and promoted increased persistence among Latina/o students entering first-year science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Findings positively indicated that first-year Latina/o STEM students can achieve academic success in college when they are matched and supported by culturally similar upperclassmen peer coaches.

Digital Spaces

Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia, is accessed by over 1.5 billion users each month, yet remains stigmatized in the academic world. Many faculty demonstrate reluctance in allowing students to use Wikipedia as part of their research and writing projects due to the open access nature of the site and have all but banned its use in their courses. In this article, we evaluate implications of our pedagogical decision to embed a Wikipedia editing assignment into our respective undergraduate courses at a Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI) in South Texas. First, we describe students’ initial reactions to Wikipedia as disrupting the classroom. Second, we examine the outcomes of the assignment in our Latinx students’ recognizing their work on Wikipedia as an act of decolonizing the classroom. In particular, we show the extent to which students a) claim authority, b) develop an ownership of knowledge, c) forge identities as public scholars, and d) develop a civic responsibility through their work on Wikipedia. We conclude with a discussion of recommendations for implementing assignments on digital citizenship in college classrooms, particularly in HSIs.
