Abstract
Many student services on college and university campuses cater to the needs of full time, residential students who are 18 to 24 years old and White. These services often do not address the needs of students who do not fit those demographics. This paper investigates what good practices institutions are using to better support traditionally underserved and underrepresented students. These practices include co-location, online services, and targeted programs. By implementing these practices, students are able to feel more integrated into the college environment, which research shows can help support persistence and retention.
