Table of ContentsReviews""The timing of this book could not be better with its focus on first generation college students and social media. It is an empirically-driven and worthwhile read for administrators, faculty, and staff at institutions of higher education in the U.S.” -- Kim Nehls * executive director of the Association for the Study of Higher Education (ASHE) * “Increasing college completion, particularly among first-generation, low-income, and minoritized students is critically urgent and Technology and Engagement provides 'scalable' ideas. That is the good news. The bad news is that faculty and administrators have not figured out the many ways in which technology can be leveraged to increase retention. This book shows that technology can be a 'best practice' that can lessen the alienation minoritized first generation students experience in campuses that are not structured for their success. This book offers practical and culturally responsive strategies. It should be required reading for all staff and faculty associated with special programs."" -- Estela Mara Bensimon * professor and director, Center for Urban Education * ""Selected New Books on Higher Education: How to Ease the Way for Transgender and First-Generation Students"" by Ruth Hammond mention * Chronicle of Higher Education * Increasing college completion, particularly among first-generation, low-income, and minoritized students is critically urgent and Technology and Engagement provides 'scalable' ideas.
