“Students who are the first in their family to attend college may not realize how special they are. They have not only the talent and intelligence to get into college, but also the courage to go somewhere and achieve a milestone for their family. FIRST provides a home away from home for first-generation students and gives them opportunities to interact with first-generation staff, mentors and faculty who will guide them toward reaching their full potential.”

Barbara Speziale, Ph.D., Associate Dean of Summer Programs and Academic Outreach
