Jama<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\t足彩app哪个是正规的 University of Washington Bothell is home to a diverse body of students and for many, they are the first in their families to attend college. A first generation college student is a student whose parent(s)\/legal guardians have not completed a bachelor\u2019s degree at a four-year college or university and are the first in their immediate family to attend a college or university. This circumstance comes with difficulties of its own; UW Bothell strives to understand the needs of these students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\tAccording to U.S Department of Education, roughly a third of undergrad college students in the U.S. are first generation students. More than 50 percent of UW Bothell\u2019s first year students are first generation. \u201cBeing a first generation student myself, I often struggled with having little to no knowledge of the expectations and resources associated with a college campus,\u201d explained Abdikani Ali, business major at UW Bothell (\u201917). 足彩app哪个是正规的 absence of experience may prevent first generation students from being aware of and taking advantages of opportunities that may be available to them to fully benefit their higher education journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\t\u201cLack of adequate academic preparation is only one of their challenges, since understanding how to navigate the university environment and the student success strategies that go with it and finding a sense of social belonging are often larger hindrances,\u201d says Leslie Ashbaugh, assistant vice chancellor for academic achievement and the First Year and Pre-Major Program (FYPP).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\t足彩app哪个是正规的 average bachelor of arts degree attainment rate for first generation students at public four year institutions is 49 percent. UW Bothell averages 65 percent, well above the national average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\t\u201cAs a first generation student, getting my bachelor\u2019s degree has had a positive effect on my family. My sister and I have been able to set an example of leadership and success for our nephew, and younger cousins,\u201d says Marlene Manzo, (IAS, &#8217;14).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\tWith organizations like the <a href=\"\/orientation\/transition-programs\/studentnetworks\/firstgeneration\">First Generation Network<\/a>, UW Bothell is on the forefront of identifying possible deterrents and educating students on available opportunities and positive navigation strategies to succeed. \u201cThis program is supposed to help with the transitional needs,\u201d says Jay Flores, First Generation Network Lead. \u201cThis program catches first generation students in the beginning.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\tWhile there is still work to be done, UW Bothell is a leading institution in providing additional assistance to those who need it and is creating the foundation to help first generation students.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\n\t足彩app哪个是正规的 University of Washington Bothell is home to a diverse body of students and for many, they are the first in their families to attend college.
