A first-generation (or FGEN) college student is defined as an individual who attends college when neither that person’s mother or father attended college on their own. The Shepard Academic Resource Center is developing programming specifically for the University’s FGEN students, and is seeking faculty and staff who were FGEN students students themselves. If you were an FGEN student, please take a moment to contact Matt Daily, program manager for special populations in the Shepard Center, at daily@up.edu. There will be opportunities to help current UP FGEN students.
