Project Location:: On FSU Main Campus If the project location is off campus, does the research assistant(s) need to provide their own transportation?: No, the project is remote Please select the choice that most accurately describes your expectations for the research assistant(s):: Fully Remote Approximately how many hours a week would the research assistant(s) need to work?: 5-7 hours Roughly what time frame do you expect research assistant(s) to work?: Flexible schedule (Combination of business and outside of business. TBD between student and research mentor.) Overall Research Project Description: Initially, the research project will entail a comprehensive literature review of the phenomenon that involves the transition and first-year experience of first-generation and low-income (FGLI) college students. By looking through the literature, students will address gaps and help answer research questions associated with my research study: (RQ1), What supports, if any, do CARE and non-CARE FGLI students receive from other programs or services at or outside of Florida State University? Second, (RQ2), What perceptions do CARE and non-CARE FGLI students have about transitioning into college? (RQ3), What institutional or societal barriers do CARE and non-CARE FGLI students perceive as restricting access to first-year and transitional support services? In the future, there will be a chance for data analysis of research interviews that have already been conducted with participants and future interviews that still need to be conducted. Later in the fall or early spring semester, there might be a chance to be involved in focus group interviews with student participants. Research Tasks: Literature review, data analysis, conducting interviews. Skills that research assistant(s) may need:: Research assistants should have skills in: 1). Reading and analyzing literature (journal articles, reports, thesis', etc.) 2). Proficiency in using Microsoft Word, Excel and Word 3). Synthesizing information Mentoring Philosophy: A mentoring relationship is a reciprocal connection of learning and growth amongst both parties. From my previous experiences of being both a mentor and mentee, this connection can be a transformative and down-the-line lead to more opportunities. To have this occur, I believe the most important foundation that needs to be set is an inclusive environment to where students feel seen and heard. With this, mentors should listen to their ideas, questions, and concerns.
