When a student goes to college, they bring their whole family with them. How can colleges not only support those students, but their families?
The Chronicle, in partnership with Ascendium, has created a free resource center to share real-world student stories and practical advice on programs to offer extra support.
Highlights include:
- Viviana Mitre's journey to become the first person in her family to graduate college. Her commute involves crossing the US-Mexico border, which can take up to 3 hours.
- Monclair University's VP for student development and campus life, and first-generation student, Dawn Mesa Souflerisoffers advice based off her experience as a first-gen student.
- Our first multimedia case study highlighting student-success practices at UC Riverside which are improving retention rates for Pell Grant recipients.
