Calendar Event

What is  first-generation college student can broadly be defined as being the first person in your family to attend a two-year or four-year college. Congratulations – this is a very big deal! It can also mean that you and your family are navigating the college application process without previous experience to guide you.

One of our ACE goals is to build our local first-generation college student network, so that you have access to resources and information that will help you make the best decision for your college experience.

Join us in this virtual community as we discuss why the first-generation college experience is unique, what it means to be considered first-generation, and how you can start preparing for this important journey now.
