Abstract
Across Hispanic-serving institutions and minority-serving institutions, efforts to increase student retention and degree completion, especially among first generation and low-income students, are being implemented. However, the lack of awareness related to students' resilience and efforts to fulfill their basic needs and subsequent lack of support in helping students leverage their strengths and navigate points of services on campus undercut the colleges' efforts to increase retention and graduation rates. Administrators, faculty, and staff need to work together to transform the institutional structures to improve the experiences and outcomes of all students.
