The purpose of this study is to lend itself to the limited body of research on Women of Color in mid-level staff administrative roles serving on historically White campuses in the United States (Bazner, 2022). While there are articles that mention these women, they are typically grouped together with Women of Color in faculty roles (Rosser, 2004). There are few works that focus solely Women of Color in mid-level staff administrative roles. The goal of this study is to highlight these Women of Color's career barriers and career enablers at historically White institutions. Additionally, the goal of this narrative study rooted in the Critical Race Theory (CRT) tenet of storytelling (Martinez & Broussard, 2018) is also to provide interpretations and recommendations for Women of Color serving in these roles currently and those seeking to mid-level staff administrative roles at historically White institutions and for others to consider when working with these women.
