| Abstract: | To understand the factors that contribute to men of color graduating from higher education institutions at lower rates than their same-aged peers, the authors conducted a literature review of 70 articles related to the experiences of men of color in higher education. The authors then used the Psychosociocultural (PSC) Framework to capture individual, institutional, and cultural factors that shape students' college experiences, which affords a multi-layered approach to crafting interventions to empower men of color in higher education. Through this analysis, the authors categorize major themes from the literature review as addressing either psychological, social, or cultural factors, or a combination of these factors. These themes are then used to provide student affairs practitioners with suggested practices to address these emerging findings related to men of color in the educational pipeline. This report aims to provide practitioners with tangible strategies to holistically attend to the needs of men of color in higher education. |
