Faculty and Staff Invited to Take Survey About First-Generation Student Services on Campus
As part of the NASPA (Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education) Center for First-Generation Student Success as a First Scholar campus, the U of A's First-Gen Campus Network is inviting faculty and staff to complete a five-minute survey mapping first-generation services and programs across our campus. The goal is to map current services, programs and events offered that are specifically designed for first-generation students and then to identify gaps that could support first gen students on our campus.
The deadline to complete the survey is March 15. This is an opportunity to help us learn more about the available resources and the gaps in university departments and organizations.
