    Compassion Fatigue in Student Affairs Practitioners Working with Undocumented College Students
    (Southern Association for College Student Affairs, 2020) Martinez Hoy, Zelideh R.; Nguyen, David Hoa Khoa; School of Education
    Given the nature of student affairs work, practitioners may be exposed to work-related stress that impacts their professional and personal well-being. In this phenomenological study, we examined the lived experiences of 9 professionals who worked with undocumented students and how they experienced and managed their compassion fatigue. Findings indicate that the predisposition to advocate and support along with expectations were prevalent triggers to compassion stress. Implications for professionals, their supervisors and institutions are discussed.

    Higher Education Professionals Navigating Anti-Immigration Policy for Undocumented Students
    (Sage, 2019) Martinez Hoy, Zelideh R.; Nguyen, David H. K.; School of Education
    Higher education professionals are critical to undocumented students’ educational success as their access to higher education is heavily dependent on being able to interpret and navigate policies. This study presents an analysis of policies that impact higher education access for undocumented students coupled with a qualitative case study that examines how anti-immigration policy affects the experiences of higher education professionals who worked directly with undocumented students in the state of Indiana. The authors help readers understand the experiences and challenges facing these “pathfinders” as they attempt to navigate the mazes of federal, state, and institutional policy to help their undocumented students.
