<strong>2022</strong> ANNUAL REPORT<br />

<strong>Student</strong> <strong>Affairs</strong> oversees campus programs and services<br />

that aim to support students both academically and socially.<br />

However, it is unclear whether, and how, <strong>UIC</strong> programs<br />

and services integrate T-SEL principles and practices into<br />

their interactions with undergraduate students. This mixedmethods<br />

study will examine (1) the extent to which T-SEL<br />

practices are used by <strong>UIC</strong> student supports and services<br />

and (2) how <strong>UIC</strong> undergraduate students perceive and<br />

respond to T-SEL practices in the support that they receive.<br />

Pathways from Community College to a 4-year<br />

University: Experiences of <strong>Student</strong>s with a Foster<br />

Background<br />

Principal Investigator: Jennifer Geiger, PhD<br />

Despite the known benefits of earning a college degree, it is<br />

estimated that approximately 3-5% of youth with foster care<br />

experience graduate with a bachelor’s degree, compared to<br />

almost a third of the general population in the U.S. Despite<br />

recent estimates showing a growing number of youth in<br />

care pursuing community college, with many transferring<br />

or desiring to transfer to a 4-year institution, little is known<br />

about how these youth experience the transition from<br />

community college to a 4-year institution and how programs<br />

and staff serve a role in supporting this transition. This<br />

study aims to increase our understanding of this transition<br />

from the perspective of the student through in-depth<br />

interviews. This knowledge can inform multiple areas of<br />

practice within student affairs, financial aid, admissions,<br />

transfer services, first year initiatives, and various supports<br />

on and off-campus.
