Prior research has focused largely on Black students at four-year institutions, and even theoretical work has assumed that influences on retention are the same at two-year and four-year institutions. Drawing on Tinto&#8217;s (1993)\u00a0retention\u00a0theory and Astin&#8217;s (1993) input-environment-outcome (IEO)\u00a0model, this study estimated the impact of academic and social integration on retention\u2014controlling for an array of intervening variables\u2014based on a sample of African American males who responded to the Community College Student Experiences Questionnaire. Findings suggest a statistical link between social integration and satisfaction in college; factors explained approximately 27% of the variance in the dependent variable. Implications for future policy and practice are highlighted.<\/p>\n<p>Full article can be found here:<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/eric.ed.gov\/?id=EJ971585<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Strayhorn, T.
