Item Environment and affluence : how food insecurity shapes student identity at a selective flagship institution.(2021-07-13) Cliburn Allen, Cara, 1991-; Alleman, Nathan F., 1975-The purpose of this study is to understand how students who experience food insecurity manage and display their identity at a selective state flagship institution with a culture of affluence. Though many scholars have sought to establish the prevalence of food insecurity on college campuses, little is known about how different environmental contexts shape how a student experiences food insecurity and how students shape the campus in return. This study utilizes a sociological framework to understand the dynamic relationship between students and college environments. The findings of this study provide a model that can be used to understand how students experience food insecurity across multiple environmental contexts. Additionally, findings show how students are socialized to navigate affluent environments, but also how they exert agency within the space through two modalities: Instrumentalists and Opportunists.Item Faith, work, and praxis : a process model of integration for Christian student affairs administrators.(2015-04-13) Cliburn Allen, Cara, 1991-; Alleman, Nathan F., 1975-The purpose of this study is to better understand the faith integration process of Christian student affairs administrators. The concept of faith integration has prompted scholars to study this phenomenon for institutions as whole as well as for faculty members. However, the research surrounding student affairs administrators and how their faith shapes their work is insufficient. The findings of this study provide a model that illustrates the process student affairs administrators employ to connect their faith to their work. The findings suggest that the model is not confined to specific Christian denominations, but it can be implemented by various Christian identities. The model may help student affairs administrators consider how they express their faith in their work, and help them continue to engage in this practice in meaningful ways.
