2022-First-Gen-Fellows-1000
PCC’s effort to improve the experiences and outcomes of first-generation college students is exemplified by its First-Gen Fellows Mentoring Program. Through the initiative, Pitt faculty and staff meet regularly with first-generation student mentees to discuss topics like self-discovery, campus activities, goal-setting, leadership development and campus resources. It gives the students a direct connection to someone on campus they can trust to help them eliminate the barriers they encounter in their pursuit of higher education.
