Cardinal First Student Voices

Описание: Cardinal First is an empowering program designed specifically for first-generation college students at North Central College! 🌟 Hear from our first gen students how Cardinal First has helped them thrive in college!

Being a first-generation college student means that neither of your parents has completed a four-year degree. At North Central College, we're proud to have nearly 40% of our students identifying as first-gen. Here, your first-gen status is not just recognized; it’s celebrated as a badge of honor among our students, faculty, and staff! 🎉

The mission of Cardinal First is to create a supportive and welcoming community for first-generation college students and their families. We aim to cultivate a campus culture that values and celebrates first-gen identity as an asset. Our program is designed to foster meaningful connections to faculty, resources, and experiences that promote both academic and personal success—from your very first day through to graduation. 📚✨

If you’re a first-generation college student or know someone who is, join us in making the most of this incredible opportunity! For more information, visit our website at https://www.northcentralcollege.edu/c....
