MSU earns First Generation-Forward designation

By: Annie Dubois

Navigating the inner workings of higher education is a daunting prospect, especially for first-generation college students. Fortunately, MSU’s Neighborhood Student Success Collaborative and TRIO Student Support Service programs steer first-generation students in the right direction by providing access to resources and support. These efforts recently earned MSU acceptance into the Center for First-generation Student Success’s First-Gen Forward Cohort.

The Center for First-generation Student Success is an initiative formed by the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators and the Suder Foundation with the aim to advocate for first-generation student success. Institutions that are accepted into the First-Gen Forward Cohort demonstrate continual commitment to first-generation student success and are given opportunities to advance their practices. Over the past three years, the Center’s First-Gen Forward Cohort has grown to include 157 institutions across the nation.
