Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)

Having a part-time job is a necessary part of life for many college students. It is possible that working an on-campus part-time job can have a positive effect on student retention, especially for racially minoritized students. This research investigated if there is a correlation between persistence to graduation and on-campus part-time employment for racially minoritized students by examining sense of community, self-reliance, and sense of self. Additionally, four professional academic advisors were interviewed about advising students who are working while in college.
