Henning, Denise; Wheeler, Winona
New Directions for Student Services, n171-172 p57-67 Fall-Win 2020
Indigenous students from rural communities attending postsecondary institutions can face unique challenges that negatively impact persistence and retention rates.

This chapter briefly outlines the challenges rural Indigenous students encounter and provides best practices developed by postsecondary institutions that can increase Indigenous student success.
