Description
Summary:This study highlights opportunities for developing programs and initiatives to assist Black men in understanding leadership and seeing themselves as leaders, and for decreasing low college retention and persistence rates. The themes from this qualitative narrative inquiry highlight leader identity, capacity, and efficacy for undergraduate Black men. Narrative inquiry was appropriate for this study because the researchers sought to better understand how Black undergraduate male student leaders make meaning of their experience in higher education related to their comprehension of leadership and identity as leaders.
