At MSU Denver, 59.7% of undergraduates are First-Generation Students and the First-Generation Initiatives Program in the Classroom to Career Hub (C2Hub). The C2Hub serves as a resource for current First-Generation students as they navigate campus, alongside campus partners. We encourage and empower the Roadrunner community to embrace and celebrate the intersecting identities of First-Generation college students.
Students who can gain a post-secondary education have more significant opportunities for better jobs, higher education, and significant contributions to their communities. At MSU Denver, we recognize the importance of diversity when it comes to the next generation of leaders and highly value our First-Generation students for their contributions to the student body.
As defined by the Higher Education Act of 1965, the following definition is used by the First-Generation Initiatives when describing First-Generation students:
To raise awareness, increase retention and graduation rates of First-Generation students.
The mission will be carried out by building community, serving as advocates, providing education on the First-Generation experience, influencing university policies and practices to be more inclusive of the First-Generation identity, and developing meaningful co-curricular programs and university initiatives that support First-Generation students.
