Background: Student retention is the most critical challenge facing most traditional
4- and 2-year institutions. Challenges related to student belonging and
retention are among many that colleges must contend with daily. Once students
arrive, they are met with an academic environment that may greatly differ from
their high school and home experiences.
Discussion: There is evidence that classroom success is influenced by faculty
tone setting and the overall campus climate. Other studies have shown that creating
a sense of belonging on college campuses is essential. Classroom success
can be moderated by relationships with faculty, especially with faculty of color
and other minoritized groups.
Aims: Given the predicted shortages of minority dental healthcare providers in
the United States and the expanding diversity of the general population, it is
important to recruit and retain an ethnically and culturally diverse allied dental
workforce.
Conclusions: The objectives of this researchwere to identify strategies to recruit
underrepresented (underrepresented minority [URM]) students into health
professions, understand the significance of underrepresented (URM) faculty’s
influence on the number ofURMstudent recruitment, retention, and graduation
rates, and how to implement best practices for overall minority student success.
