| مستخلص: | With the large discrepancy between the undergraduate graduation rates of Hispanic students and students from other racial and ethnic backgrounds, it is both an equity issue and an economic imperative that higher education institutions focus on retaining Hispanic students. This qualitative phenomenological study seeks to understand the barriers and supports that Hispanic college students and leader-practitioners perceive as affecting Hispanic undergraduate retention and timely degree completion at PWIs in a major metropolitan area in the northeastern U.S., specifically from 2015-2021, a period that included the COVID-19 pandemic and increased public bias against the Hispanic community. Through the lens of LatCrit and using the Multicontextual Model for Diverse Learning Environments (MMDLE) framework to guide the discussion, this seminal research regarding Hispanic students in higher education focused on the perceptions of current Hispanic undergraduate students, recent Hispanic graduates, and higher education leader-practitioners. The methodology included surveys, interviews, and focus groups. The researcher analyzed data qualitatively to identify findings that note the dramatic effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on higher education learning, mild effect of the socio-political environment on those not affected directly, and emotional effect of the socio-political environment on unauthorized immigrants. Other findings related to the strain of financial challenges and work obligations but also the benefits Hispanic students derived from individual relationships and student-support departments. Recommendations include keeping Hispanic students' families involved, increasing scholarship opportunities, and ensuring culturally responsive resources are available. As guided by Cabrini University's dedication to social justice, ensuring equitable access to education will constructively support our communities.
