Description

In 2021, UMBC was invited to join the First Scholars Network, the signature initiative of the Center for First-generation Student Success at NASPA. This is an exciting opportunity to join a set of institutions from across the United States who are committed to improving experiences and increasing access, persistence, and completion for first-generation college students.  

As part of our First Scholars efforts, UMBC participated in the Insights Tool, a comprehensive diagnostic self-assessment where members of our community shared information about our institutional efforts to support first-generation students. We received the report findings and recommendations in February 2022, and are now excited to welcome the First Scholars team to virtually present key findings and recommendations to campus partners committed to advancing first-generation student support. 

Please join us on May 24th at 1 pm to learn more about the existing structures to support first-generation students, and discuss ways to set priorities and action steps to continue to improve the first-generation student experience
