Winner of the 2018 Association for the Study of Higher Education Outstanding Book Award Technology and Engagement is based on a four-year study of how first generation college students use social media, aimed at improving their transition to and engagement with their university.

This 'ecology of transition' was important in keeping the students focused on why they were in college, and helped them become more integrated into the university setting. By showing the gains in campus capital these first-generation college students obtained through social media, the authors offer concrete suggestions for how other universities and college-retention programs can utilize the findings to increase their own retention of first-generation college students.
