Ung-Sang Lee and Federick Ngo (Educational Psychology, Leadership, and Higher Education) are beginning work on a grant awarded by the National Science Foundation titled, Weaving Together Supports for the Academic Success and Racial Identity Development of Low Income and First-Generation AA&NHPI Students. This project is a research-practice partnership (RPP) composed of higher education practitioners, faculty, and academic researchers in the fields of higher education and learning sciences designed to generate knowledge about how Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-serving institutions enact practices that serve Asian American and Pacific Islander students. The three lines of inquiry include 1) investigating how practitioners define and enact supports for students (i.e., servingness); 2) understanding how students experience servingness and how this relates to their academic and psychosocial outcomes, including racial identity development; and 3) an analysis of the impact of a tutoring program on multilingual college students' outcomes.
