Advising Black Graduate Students' Academic Persistence through the Phases of Appreciative Advising
Abstract
This article explores the implementation of the Appreciative Advising framework’s phases toward promoting academic persistence among Black graduate students. Systemic challenges and inequities have hampered the academic persistence of Black graduate students in higher education. To address barriers such as tokenism, socioeconomic hardships, microaggressions, and racial battle fatigue that impact Black graduate student populations, advisors must employ effective strategies that support this student population's specific needs and experiences. This conceptual manuscript provides an overview of each phase of Appreciative Advising, exploring implications for advising Black graduate students, and recommendations for future research on Appreciative Advising Black graduate students.
Keywords: Black graduate students, Appreciative Advising, academic persistence, academic advising
