ABSTRACT
The number of Black undergraduate students continues to rise on college campuses across the nation, with Black women significantly outnumbering men in both enrollment and degree completion (Bond, 2011). In spite of the increasing presence of Black women on college campuses, there is a lack of research that focuses specifically on the engagement and support of this growing population (Robinson & Franklin, 2011). Much of the current research on Black student success at both Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Predominantly White Institutions (PWIs) focuses specifically on Black male success. Although Black women obtain degrees at higher rates than Black men at both types of institutions, they still find themselves either assimilating to find support groups or rendered invisible throughout their educational journey (Bond, 2011; Winkle-Wagner, 2009).
