UNCP students, faculty share experiences at First Gen Summit
Being a first-generation college student brings an overwhelming sense of pride. On the other hand, forging a new path as the first in the family to attend college can also invoke feelings of uncertainty, and even guilt. Students and a faculty member from UNC Pembroke were among dozens of attendees who shared these and other personal stories during Class Action’s eighth annual First Gen College Student Summit. The event was held remotely in November.
