The norm is for you to graduate high school and find a job to help support your family because "big dreams cost big money". Yet here I am, five college degrees in and so close to the finish line; I dreamt big and grew into them. I am forever grateful for the opportunities that life has afforded me, and I would like to acknowledge my friends, family and mentors for their unwavering support and understanding. To my dissertation committee, you are all my rock! Dr. Wendy Reinke, you have supported me since day one without judgment, without complaints, through the highs and the lows. Dr. Wolfgang Wiedermann, you are an incredible statistician and human. Thank you for being patient and re-teaching me as many times as it took. Dr. Aaron Thompson, I admire your calming and caring energy. Thank you for your consistent encouragement. You are the world's best reviewer-who else gives individual feedback, article suggestions, and a paragraph highlighting strengths? Dr. Becca Hayes, you are one of my role models; selfless, committed, and dependable. Thank you for always being willing to advocate on my behalf and supporting me through personal and professional challenges. Last but not least, I would like to thank Dr. Keith Herman for always providing platforms where I can voice my ideas and get valuable feedback. Thank you for ensuring that I always feel like a part of the team. All that I am and will be, is owed in part to those who have believed in me: Coach Mike Thorson, you are my light. I am confident and driven because of you. Neal Falk, your support provides so much comfort and I am forever in your debt. To everyone who played a role in my development, no matter how small, thank you! Mamba Forever. Black Lives Matter.

Authoritative school climate and out-of-school suspensions: Results from a nationally-representative survey of 10th grade students

The relationship of school climate and out-of-school suspensions was investigated using a nationally-representative sample of 10th grade students. Regression results, which included student- and school-level factors, indicated that an authoritative school climate, characterized by an environment with fair and just rules, was associated with the reduced likelihood of suspensions, over and above other predictors. Although the relationship may be characterized as small (OR = 0.82), the positive benefits to students are likely cumulative over each year the student is in school.
