Overcoming Current Barriers to Degree Completion
Approximately one-third of U.S. college students are first generation, according to a National Center for Education Statistics report. The pandemic has shed light on inequities and the added obstacles specific populations face, including first generation students. Social, cultural, financial obstacles, as well as extra family responsibilities are a reality for many first-generation students.
