Insights from First-Gen Students

Serving the needs of first-generation students has become an imperative for colleges and universities. But what do the students have to say about their experiences?

A panel of first-generation students and graduates joins The Chronicle for the next installment of our ongoing virtual forum series, What It Really Takes to Be a Student-Centric Institution. During this hour-long discussion, our panelists will share their stories and discuss how they define themselves, and touch on these topics:

• What does it mean to be a first-generation student, from the student perspective?
• What challenges have they faced during their time in college?
• What support systems have worked for them and their families?

Hosts:

• Sarah Brown, senior reporter, The Chronicle
• Anthony Jack, assistant professor of education, Harvard University
  

With Support From Ascendium.
