SUMMARY:Workshop: Supporting First Generation College Students
DESCRIPTION:Register here | Facilitator: Rachel Yoho\nDid you know that 20-30% of Mason students are considered first generation college students?  These students come from a variety of backgrounds\, identities\, and experiences.  Supporting first generation college students in the classroom is a way to create more inclusive learning spaces and broaden participation – and retention – in higher education.  Integrating these strategies is also an impactful way to support all students\, even if they are not the specific audience of being the first generation to college.  In this workshop\, we will define what it means to be “first gen\,” discuss some common obstacles to success in higher education\, explore approaches that can be used in the classroom and overall course design\, and identify one or more applicable strategies that we might apply in our own teaching. \n*Adding to your calendar will not register you for the event; please register using the link above.
