  • Student involvement in ethnic Student Organizations examining civic outcomes 6 years after graduation
    Research in Higher Education, 2015
    Co-Authors: Nicholas A Bowman, Julie J Park, Nida Denson
    Abstract:

    Few college experiences elicit as much controversy as racial/ethnic Student Organizations. Critics argue that these Student groups promote racial division and segregation, whereas supporters counter these claims and suggest instead that they facilitate college adjustment, learning, and growth. Clearly, some Students are quite predisposed to participate (or not participate) in these Organizations, which can lead to significant challenges when trying to determine the impact of this form of engagement. The present study used multilevel propensity score matching analyses to explore the relationships between racial/ethnic Student Organizations and post-college civic outcomes within a 10-year longitudinal sample of 8,634 alumni from 229 institutions. The results indicate that participation is significantly and positively associated with numerous civic behaviors and attitudes 6 years after graduation. Moreover, these findings are similar regardless of race/ethnicity, gender, or institution.

  • clubs and the campus racial climate Student Organizations and interracial friendship in college
    Journal of College Student Development, 2014
    Co-Authors: Julie J Park
    Abstract:

    This study uses data from the National Longitudinal Study of Freshmen to examine the racial/ethnic composition of Student Organizations as well as the relationship between Student organization participation and close interracial friendship. White Students were the most likely to be in majority White environments in fraternities and sororities, while religious groups were the environments where Black and Asian American Students were most likely to gather with same-race peers. Participating in Greek life, religious groups, and ethnic Student Organizations were negative predictors of having at least one close friend of another race/ethnicity. Students of color had higher rates of close interracial friendship than White Students, and Students attending racially diverse campuses were more likely to have close interracial friendship. Implications for Student Organizations and their impact on the campus racial climate are discussed.

  • interracial friendship and structural diversity trends for greek religious and ethnic Student Organizations
    The Review of Higher Education, 2013
    Co-Authors: Julie J Park
    Abstract:

    This article examines how peer interactions in college Organizations (Greek, ethnic, and religious) affect interracial friendships, including whether peer interaction in Student Organizations mediates the relationship between structural diversity and interracial friendship. Involvement in ethnic Student Organizations was non-significant; involvement in Greek or religious Student Organizations was a negative predictor. Greek involvement mediated the relationship between structural diversity and interracial friendship; greater structural diversity decreased the likelihood of Students interacting with peers from Greek Organizations, which had a positive effect on interracial friendship. Findings suggest that structural diversity acts as a buffer against the negative influence of Greek Organizations on interracial friendship.

  • sustaining latina Student Organizations an exploratory instrumental case study
    Journal of Hispanic Higher Education, 2016
    Co-Authors: Michelle Castellanos
    Abstract:

    Utilizing the exploratory case study methodology, the author examines the conditions that support and limit a Latina-based Student organization at a predominately White institution of higher education. Seven organizational structures were found to influence the organization’s ability to advance its aims, from interviews, documents, observations, and focus groups with Students and university personnel. Implications for future researchers, Student affairs administrators, and university policy makers are discussed.
