Description

West Chester University utilizes a unique approach to mentoring thousands of first-gen students through on-demand programs based on Yosso's Cultural Wealth Model includes six types of capital that educational leaders may use to frame their interactions with students. The six forms of cultural capital are aspirational, linguistic, familial, social, navigational, and resistance. Yosso designed this model to capture the talents, strengths, and experiences that students bring with them to their college environment and empower them to thrive. Join us for a discussion about West Chester's First Co-curriculum and and the needs of today's first-generation college students.
