什么是第一代大学生？
At NWACC, the term first-generation student refers to students who are the first of their family to attend a higher education institution. Their parent(s)/legal guardian(s) have not completed any level of higher education. Students who have siblings in college but whose parents have not earned any degree are still considered first-generation.
NWACC's 学生生活办公室 offers first-gen students support and resources, so you are better able to succeed at college and in your future endeavors.
