    Social Class Supports: A book review
    (Student Affairs on Campus, 2023-07-27) Long, Monteigne; Dunn, Dalvin
    The overall number of U.S. undergraduate students has increased dramatically over the past 20 years. This growth had been due, in large part, to an influx of students from low-income families and students of color (Fry & Cilluffo, 2019). In 2016, 20% of dependent undergraduate students were from families in poverty, up from only 12% in 1996, suggesting that more poor students are enrolling in and attending postsecondary institutions (Fry & Cilluffo, 2019). With the increase of this student population, institutions must be adequately prepared to support and sustain them through programs and practices that are intentionally designed to address the needs of poor and working-class students.
