The purpose of the College of Wooster’s First-Generation Student Organization is to establish a support system for first-generation college students, low-income students, and any others seeking assistance with the transition to college life. We aim to facilitate the transition to college for first-generation students through mentorship networks and sharing academic and social resources. We will seek to build more opportunities of learning for non-first-generation college students, in the belief that it is important for the broader Wooster community to understand the first-generation student experience. By communicating with non-first-generation students, The College of Wooster’s First-Generation Student Organization will strive to dispel any stigma or stereotype associated with the first-generation identity.
