Why support First-Generation College Student Success?
"Celebrating the accomplishments of our first-generation students across the country
not only sheds light upon their vast abilities but fosters an environment of asset-based
approaches to serving this
student population. First-Generation College Celebration creates an intentional conversation
about this important population, recognizes institutional commitment to fostering
student success,
and creates a platform for campus collaborations" said Sarah E. Whitley, Ph.D., senior
director, Center for First-generation Student Success.
