• In this chapter, Michelle M. Espino offers a scholarly informed analysis and reflection on essays by a college student, a research analyst for the Department of Education, a high school student, and a dean of college counseling at a high school. The essays offer responses to the question: What are the needs of today's college students? While all essayists are stakeholders in higher education, they inhabit very different positions and social locations in relation to the academy. In this chapter, an examination of these narratives reveals important points of congruence and areas of discrepancies in their views on today's college students. This chapter explores these areas of agreement and difference, connects resulting themes to extant theory of student learning and development, and concludes with a call to action for readers to activate on behalf of college students, no matter their positionality.
