First Generation Celebration: Home

"Being the first in your family to pursue higher education can be daunting. Here are some encouraging pieces of advice as you enter college," writes Michelle Baik.

Driving higher education innovation and advocacy for first-generation student success.

"First Gen College works to help first generation college students to and through college and beyond. We share stories, resources and offer programs to support them on their college and career journeys. We also connect students and recent graduates to professionals and career opportunities."

"This First Generation Digital Storytelling project explores the use of storytelling and digital social media to give voice to the rarely heard narratives of First Generation college students and graduates. This project is a partnership between Jane Van Galen at the University of Washington Bothell and Class Action."

"I’m First! is an online community providing first-generation college students—and those who advise them—with inspiration, information, and support on the road to and through college."
