9:00 AM – 10:00 AM<br />
Scholars have consistently maintained that<br />
personal relationships with faculty are essential<br />
in doctoral programs, yet the lack of<br />
minority faculty often impedes the success of<br />
minority students. This phenomenological<br />
study seeks to explore the complexities of the<br />
mentoring relationship for 21 Black women,<br />
from several doctoral programs, across several<br />
institutions. Understanding students’ experiences<br />
may aid both student and academic<br />
affairs staff efforts related to retention and<br />
persistence, developing appropriate career activities,<br />
and better expenditure of individual<br />
and institutional resources.<br />
310 Islam on Campus: Identity<br />
Development of Muslim-<br />
American College Students<br />
Student Learning and Development;<br />
Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion<br />
Sponsored Program<br />
Location: Baltimore <strong>Convention</strong> Center, 343<br />
Program Presenter: Farouk Dey, Carnegie<br />
Mellon University<br />
The lack of knowledge about Muslim-<br />
American college students juxtaposed with<br />
the increased visibility of Islam in America<br />
due to the 9, 11 events, as well as the<br />
increased hostility, stereotyping, and<br />
prejudice against Muslims has led to an<br />
unknown impact of how college impacts the<br />
development of Muslim-American college<br />
students. The purpose of this grounded theory<br />
qualitative study is to develop a theoretical<br />
model that describes how Muslim-American<br />
college students construct their identity in<br />
the context of their lives in college.<br />

teach these concepts to our students, but<br />
why are student affairs professionals seen as<br />
some of the least fit and least balanced<br />
people around? Are we following our own<br />
advice? Ever tried relying on your work<br />
routine to lose weight, reduce stress, or create<br />
balance? How can you inspire your colleagues<br />
to support each other? Participants will explore<br />
techniques for increasing their health to<br />
