Lost Among the Data: A Review of Latino First Generation College Students

The paper’s aim is to provide a profile of what is currently known about Hispanic first-generation college students. Since there is relatively little extant literature that specifically examines the experiences of Hispanic first-generation college students; however, the authors construct this profile in part through extractions from the growing bodies of literature that have been written to provide information on Hispanic college students as well as on first-generation college students more generally.
