Being a first-generation college student is something to be proud of. The First-Gen Network is a campus-wide community that connects students with faculty, staff, alumni, peers, and opportunities that support success both inside and outside the classroom.
We call it a network because success doesn't happen alone. It grows through relationships, encouragement, shared experiences, and a community of people who are invested in your journey. Whether you're just beginning your first semester or preparing for graduation, you'll find a community that celebrates your achievements, helps you navigate challenges, and supports you every step of the way.
Connect with faculty and staff who know the first-gen journey and care about your well-being. They can help you navigate course selection, manage your responsibilities, and plan for what comes next.
PACs are trained student coaches who provide one-on-one help with study skills, time management, and college-level learning. Many are first-gen students themselves and know what it takes to find your footing.
The Office of Financial Aid offers personalized support to help you understand your award, complete required forms, and plan for each academic year. You don檛 have to go it alone.
91传媒 Career Development Center helps first-generation students connect their education with future opportunities. Whether you檙e exploring internships or thinking about graduate school, you檒l get personalized guidance and support.
You檒l be part of a community that celebrates your experience. From student gatherings to first-gen alumni events, there are plenty of ways to meet people, build friendships, and find your place.
