We are launching the first First-Generation Triton Family Connection e-newsletter. First-generation students who are first in their family to go to college have a college experience unlike other students. This e-newsletter will provide you information to further support your first-gen student and to build community.
We seek your suggestions and interests to create a content specific e-newsletter. Please take some time to answer a few questions by clicking on Parent and Family Input Wanted (below). If you have any questions, please email parents@ucsd.edu .
