Abstract: The qualitative study explored how the migrant students characterized their experiences in the CAMP program at a predominately White institution in the south and how they formed their identity development and self-authorship. Chickering's theory of identity development and Baxter Magolda's theory of self-authorship served as the framework. Participants developed their identity and established self-authorship as migrant students due to the influences and impacts of CAMP. The migrant students perceived CAMP support as the nexus to their academic success and overcoming barriers. Discussed are the implications for higher education and future research.
