We identified six themes representing factors that hindered and helped first-generation students find and maintain a sense of belonging. These included the role of physical space, recognition of accomplishments, and how a lack of representation impacted belonging. The findings have implications for strength-based approaches to promote belonging among first-generation students.1:55pm %u2013 2:05pmSUPPORT OR CRUTCH: PERSPECTIVES OF STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES AND FACULTY REGARDING ACCOMMODATIONSPRINCY QUADROS-MENNELLA (WESTFIELD STATE UNIVERSITY), THOMAS DANIEL (WESTFIELD STATE UNIVERSITY) In the present study, students with disabilities and active faculty members completed self-report questionnaires about their perspectives and attitudes regarding their experiences working with accommodations for disabilities. Mixed-method analyses found some key factors that influenced attitudes among students (gender, previous experience with accommodations) and faculty members (years spent teaching, number of students requiring accommodations). These findings aim to inform practice and policy to improve support for both students and faculty in higher education.2:10pm %u2013 2:20pmTHE RELATION BETWEEN ETHNIC DISCRIMINATION AND ALCOHOL-RELATED PROBLEMS AMONG MINORITIZED COLLEGE STUDENTSMAHTAB TUBA (THE CITY COLLEGE OF NEW YORK), ADRIANA ESPINOSA (THE CITY COLLEGE OF NEW YORK), ROBERT MELARA (THE CITY COLLEGE OF NEW YORK), LAURA BRANDT (THE CITY COLLEGE OF NEW YORK), TERESA LOPEZ-CASTRO (THE CITY COLLEGE OF NEW YORK) This study will explore the relation between racial/ethnic discrimination stress, drinking motives, and alcohol use and consequences among racially/ethnically minoritized college students over two time points spanning the years of 2020 and 2022. In particular, we will assess the mediating role of drinking motives in the relation between discrimination stress and alcohol use and consequences.
