Welcome First-Generation Students!
A first-generation student is a college student who is the first in their family (one or more parent does not have a four-year college degree) to go to and graduate from college.
The office of first-generation student success seeks to engage first-generation students and their families from the recruitment stage through their entire journey at Tech and beyond. We aim to serve as a central resource hub, connecting first-generation students with vital resources and first-gen faculty & staff across campus to support their success and enrich their college experience.
