Student Workshop…………………………………………. 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM (PUB 317)

According to the Center for First Generation Student Success, not only do 1 in 3 undergraduate students identify as first-generation, but in the coming years, the pipeline of first-time undergraduates will be heavily weighted with first-gen students.

Dr. Tierny Bates (Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs at University of South Carolina Upstate) and Dr. Joshua Fredenburg (International Speaker and Founder of the First-Generation Student Career Conference) will provide participants with a deeper understanding of the specific career and leadership skills that need to be considered with first generation students and strategic ways that they can effectively integrate career education into their leadership development and/or extracurricular programs for first-gen students.
