First Generation
BUILDING COMMUNITY AMONG FIRST GENERATION STUDENTS, FACULTY, ALUMNI AND STAFF
The formal definition of a first-generation college student is a student whose parents did not complete a four-year college degree. At Emporia State University, we like to also include any student who may self-identify as not having knowledge of how to navigate college.
Help support first generation by donating to help with events, trips, getting t-shirts (provided to students for free), and much more!”
WHAT WE OFFER
- Networking with first-generation students, faculty, and alumni
