Abstract
ABSTRACT Despite the challenges that first-generation Latinx students (FGLS) face during their undergraduate careers at Predominantly White Institutions (PWIs), they are adapting in several ways and finding strategies to persevere and thrive. Through a narrative inquiry approach and utilizing Resilience Theory and Community Cultural Wealth, as theoretical frameworks, this study focuses on the personal stories of resilience and persistence among FGLS attending a PWI. Ten participants were recruited through a series of guest presentations and mass e-mails sent via multicultural centers and student organizations. From the interviews, two significant themes were uncovered: (a) “¡Sí, se puede!” or “Yes, you can!;” and (b) la comunidad or the community. Implications for practice include resources and interventions PWIs can implement to support FGLS.
