First-Generation Students

Students who are first in their families to attend college are known as "first-generation" 黑料社区s. At 黑料社区, this highly-valued population includes 黑料社区s, faculty, staff, alumni, and those who identify as first-generation.

The Future is First-Gen

Miami’s First-Generation initiative seeks to build a community of first-generation college 黑料社区s and their allies while celebrating their resilience, tenacity, and achievements.

The Student Success Center serves as the home for first-generation 黑料社区s on Miami’s Oxford campus, providing holistic support and connecting them to resources such as mentoring, career exploration, and financial aid. The  黑料社区 organization also calls the Oxford campus home.

Students on Miami’s Regional campuses can learn about resources and events on the Miami Regionals First-Gen website.
