Abstract
In the preceding chapter, we offered an interdisciplinary theoretical framework for understanding the influences on student success, the complex ways they intersect and interact, and how the process of student retention unfolds and coalesces over time. To briefly review, this theory explores how the type, time, and tenor of a student's interconnected experiences are jointly influenced by students' interpretation or construal and their encompassing contexts. Where, when, and how students enroll-and the knowledge and experiences they bring with them when entering higher education-are the products of myriad influences, including their socialization and identities, psychological attributes, educational intentions, academic preparation, and material resources. These influences, as well as their subsequent college experiences, are simultaneously shaped by the broader sociohistorical, political, and institutional contexts. In other words, application of this theory should include exploration of the maintenance (or disruption) of inequality as colleges and universities interact with the encompassing sociohistorical, political, and institutional contexts that shape students' precollege influences, college entry considerations, and college success outcomes.
