The F1RST GEN Coordinating Council (FGCC) at Wichita State is composed of Wichita State individuals who are involved in efforts to support first-generation (FGEN) students that:
- Create awareness related to the needs and success of first-generation students
- Encourage involvement and support of faculty and staff with first-generation students
- Review data and outcomes to make recommendations for systemic change that leads to better experiences and outcomes for first-generation students
- Promote a campus culture that contributes to the overall well being and persistence of first-generation students
An FGEN college student is a student whose parent(s) or legal guardian(s) have not completed a bachelor’s degree.
The FGCC cordially invites you to become a member of the F1RST GEN Coordinating Council to enhance the campus-wide approach to serve F1RST GEN SHOCKERS through the culture of research, awareness, celebration and support. You do not have to be a first-generation student to be a member of the council and advocate for first-generation students.
