Summary Description

First Generation Support Services (FGSS) serves students whose parents/caregivers did not graduate from a four-year college. Our mission is to educate and support a diverse student body. We aim to foster a campus environment in which the academic promise of our first gen students and the collective vision for equal educational opportunity can be fully realized. First Generation Support Services offers mentoring programs, workshops, socials and other community-building events, as well as individual appointments.
