Chicana Academic Persistence

Creating a University-Based Community

Alberta M. Gloria

University of Wisconsin-Madison

Xoci, a Chicana, attends a predominately White university in her hometown. She lives at home with her family, where she is responsible for her younger siblings and many household duties. The first in her family to attend college, Xoci is having difficulty managing her academic demands and home obligations; she has not been completing her class readings, homework assignments, or necessary household tasks. She is considering dropping out of school as she feels alone on campus and unsure of how to balance her home and school life. Her parents encourage her but can offer little advice beyond telling her to try harder. She has not confided in her instructors; she does not feel they would understand her.
