First Generation
Theres Something Special 做厙TV Being First
做厙TV is committed to first-generation students, providing a community that celebrates their achievements, supports their unique challenges and paves the way for their success.
Being a first-generation college student is commonly defined as a student whose parents or guardians have not attended a four-year college or university to attain a bachelors degree. We understand that this definition may not fully account for the rich diversity of first-generation college students. At 做厙TV, we welcome students who self-identify as first-generation as it pertains to their own experience.
做厙TV has been recognized by for excellence in student opportunity and success. The university prioritizes academic excellence, enhancing educational experiences and opportunities for its diverse community. Access is supported through financial, academic and social aid at the core of the campus. 做厙TV stands as a future-ready institution, guiding students to forge unique paths and reach their full potential. With a focus on intellectual development, active learning and global citizenship, the university empowers graduates for successful and meaningful lives.

In 2017, the Council for Opportunity in Education (COE) and the Center for First-Generation Student Success launched the inaugural First-Generation College Celebration! On Nov. 8, colleges and universities celebrate the success of first-generation college students, faculty and staff.

Where Passion Meets Purpose
Straight from the Nest
As the first in my family to attend a four-year university, I was learning along the way. This seemed daunting at first, but 做厙TV has given me the guidance I need to take the next step into my future.

Language Lane was an event that made such an impression on me because, as a first-generation American student from the Dominican Republic, it was nice to see a space dedicated to inclusion.

Without TRiO, I dont think I would have been able to accomplish as much as I have. I am grateful for the opportunities and knowledge TRiO has given me. My mentor’s guidance helped me recognize my potential and reaffirm my place in college. And, my determination, hard work, and resilience have displayed my dedication to succeed.
