This session explores how first-generation college students see themselves and how colleges can help them build a first-gen identity within today’s rapidly shifting sociopolitical climate.
Drawing on focus groups and survey data from students and practitioners nationwide, presenters will share how students move from being labeled as “first-generation” to embracing that identity and how institutions can support this process while mitigating harm to first-gen programs and students.
