Students who are the first in their families to attend college, first-gen students, face barriers to accessing higher ed, such as affordability and academic success. Many colleges and universities have focused on these basic needs. However, a holistic approach to first-gen success on campus involves much more.

How can institutions ensure first-gen students get involved, feel a sense of belonging on campus, and have the same access to career-enhancing opportunities, such as internships, as their peers?

Join us on Tuesday, October 29th at 2 p.m. ET for a free Virtual Forum to hear from experts on how to help first-gen students succeed.
