First-Gen Stories for Success

First-generation college student numbers are on the rise all over the United States. Many institutions are already over the 50% first-generation college student threshold and growing. We have to get better at supporting this population of students.

Institutions that actively choose to get better will flourish while others do not. In First Generation Stories for Success, you will find stories written by authors who were also first-generation college students and now work in

higher education.

Each chapter approaches first-generation college students' barriers and applies a personal narrative to help you understand how to navigate them better.

First Generation Stories for Success gives you the jump-start to start college on a more level playing field. These are our First-Gen Stories, and we share them for your success

The book is available in print and digital.
