Research indicates that first-generation college students--college students whose parent(s) have not earned a bachelor's degree--face more disadvantages than their peers whose parent(s) have earned a college degree. One of these disadvantages is the lack of social capital--or access to information.
While working in higher education for nearly 10 years, I have discovered a solution--getting the information to the parents. When parents get the information needed to support their child's college goals the child is more likely to experience greater levels of success as a college student.
So if you are an overwhelmed parent or family member of a first-generation college student, through this class you will gain insight to assist your child in planning for and navigating the college process so that you can develop confidence in the plan for your child's college education and they can have a strengthened sense of community and support to persist to graduation.
