Rashné Rustom Jehangir is Assistant Professor in the Department of Post Secondary Teaching and Learning (PsTL) in the College of Education & Human Development at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. She earned her Ph.D. in Higher Education from the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. Previously, Jehangir worked as an academic adviser in the TRiO program for approximately 10 years. During this time, she advised, taught, and mentored primarily first-generation students and other historically underserved students. Additionally, she served as a learning community coordinator for the college where she developed and implemented curriculum for the learning communities. Her research interests include student development, access, retention, and graduation of low-income, first-generation students and the transformation of teaching and learning to address intellectual, social, emotional, and student development. Specifically, she has focused on the ways in which learning communities along with multicultural curriculum can serve as a pedagogical vehicle to challenge the isolation and marginalization of first-generation, low-income college students in college. She has also worked closely with local TRiO programs to develop social and academic supports for the students they serve. In addition to her research, Jehangir teaches primarily first-year students, including a team-taught inquiry course that focuses on promoting student engagement, multidisciplinary critical thinking, and success in the first-year. Jehangir has been a consultant for community colleges in the state of Minnesota and has been an invited speaker at Council for Opportunity in Education National Conference. Additionally, she has presented at local and national conferences, including ASHE and the First-Year Experience program.
