• The purpose of the study is to understand how Latina community college students perceive and experience academic advising that has been redesigned within the guided pathways framework. Critical Race Theory (CRT) is used to frame the research study from a racialized lens and to problematize the race-neutral framework of guided pathways. I utilized a narrative inquiry approach to analyze the narratives of Latina community college students collected through interviews and a focus group. Emergent themes revealed the importance of advisors' authoritative advice and high expectations, as well as the salience of participants' intersecting social identities in shaping their transfer pathway and advising experiences. Participants discussed developing a personal connection with advisors who shared similar social identities with them, such as race, language, gender, and immigrant background. Advisors who shared similar social identities with participants redressed their racialized experiences. The implications for this study provide insight to practitioners and researchers through understanding more nuanced experiences of Latina community college students and about the college's advising capacity to equitably serve all students.
