Abstract

This chapter offered a reflection on a research study conducted at the University of the Virgin Islands, a historically black college and university (HBCU), in the aftermath of Hurricanes Irma and Maria. The research study examined student perceptions of authentic university academic care (AUAC) in a post-disaster setting. AUAC can be viewed as genuine humanistic concern and disciplined nurturing in higher education. AUAC is also an important element of examining the quality of academic services. Thus, this chapter shares the experiences of the researchers, their investigative processes, the challenges faced, solutions used, and recommendations.
