The author grew up as an at-risk individual. Through her personal hardships, Dr. Mullen was able to overcome challenges and become a successful college student and professional. Thus, her passion for resiliency in at-risk youth and college students is a path she knows well. In this book, she examined resiliency factors in at-risk college students, providing insight and strategies for college administrators and professors who have a genuine desire to attract and retain students. The author explored and captured insight of three college students who were at risk, yet made it through college. The findings in these stories reveal evidence that proves students who are at-risk have a harder time obtaining a college degree than non-at-risk students. The students in this research explain their personal burdens and the tools they used to jump the hurdles to success.
