Description
Participants will gain insight as to why first-generation college students are resistant to seek support while navigating university systems for the first time. Attendees who are first-generation will achieve an understanding of how their cultural background impacts their decision-making when in need of assistance academically, professionally, and personally. The presentation will also address how generational trauma can contribute to the roadblocks for first-generation scholars to initiate outreach for aid in different aspects of their college career. Administrators will also obtain information on how to provide adequate support to this population that is not as forthcoming to request help when experiencing challenges in their daily lives. The presentation will provide research, case studies, interactive activities, helpful tips, and tools to navigate conversations with students about their academic and lifelong journey of being the first and maybe the only in their families to pursue an advanced degree. By the conclusion of the session, participants will be able to recognize the resources available on their campus. They will also recognize the hidden signs of how first-generation college students are impacted by trauma and their overzealous resilient attitude.
