A kick-off event for UF’s First-Generation Student Celebration, join Harvard Graduate School of Education’s Dr. Anthony Abraham Jack, who will discuss the challenges faced by first-generation college students at predominantly white universities, on October 29. According to Dr. Jack, higher education does a great job recruiting first-generation students, but most fail to provide the institutional resources to ensure their success. Many first-generation students are not aware of the significance of office hours and participating in extracurricular events. At the end of the presentation, Dr. Jack will provide strategies on how to improve first-generation students’ experiences.
