Description
The life of a first generation college student is one that is complex. Not only because of the fact they are the first in their family to embark on a college journey but because of the experiences they encounter. The various journeys they embark on throughout their time in college is what makes each student unique in their own right. And all of this is attributed to one thing, purpose. Without purpose, the journey of a college student is one without a destination. One that is just going through the motions. For our first generation college students, we want them to get the most out of their college experience so they can not only find their purpose but establish it. Purpose is the foundation of students as it is intertwined with their emotional, social and academic factors of their experience as a whole. Without purpose, the complex life of a college student is simply one without meaning.
