Notas del episodio
Roughly 1 in 4 students at Penn State identify as 1st Generation (this varies by campus). First-generation (first-gen) students tend to have higher satisfaction in their college experience compared to their peers, greater learning gains, and demonstrate a greater ability to overcome setbacks of all kinds. However, they often face psychological, academic, financial, and social challenges that their peers do not experience in the same ways, and about one in three leave college within the first three years. In this week's conversation, we dive deep into a conversation about this population with our colleague, Marc Counterman - a first-generation Penn State graduate and current PreHealth Adviser at Penn State.
