Abstract:
First-generation college students are being admitted to colleges and universities at higher rates. Studies show that this student population struggles throughout their undergraduate career. They are faced with social, academic, administrative obstacles that are challenging to navigate. The parents of first-generation college students do not have the social capital, knowledge about college that would give these students a familiarity of what to expect during college. This project presents the challenges that first-generation college students face in college. The literature review indicates that first-generation college students are less prepared for college. This project proposes a daylong workshop that will benefit parent/guardians of first-generation college students and teach them about the collegiate experience. As parents are informed about college, it will improve retention of first-generation college students and lead to college success.
