dc.description.abstract | Deaf students are enrolling in postsecondary educational institutions in the United
States in greater numbers than ever before. However, attrition rates remain high. Models for
explaining persistence in college link success to student integration within the informal and
social fabric of their institution. The research reported in this paper is the result of a study of
social integration of deaf and hearing students within a residence hall on the campus of
Rochester Institute of Technology. It was found that characteristics of both the individual and
of the postsecondary environment are important in explaining interaction levels. An ecological
model is proposed as a framework for describing and analyzing student integration within
informal and social dimensions of college life. | en_US |
