SBVC Hosts Resource-Focused Event for First-Generation College Students

First-generation college students at San Bernardino Valley College were invited to share their experiences at an event held for them by the Student Equity & Success office on Nov. 5.

Students enjoyed burgers and churros, and heard former first-gen students speak about who and what helped them. Each attendee received a list of resources, like contacts in the counseling and financial aid offices, and specialized programs offered at SBVC.

Attendees also received a first-gen T-shirt and a copy of the book “Crack the Code: A Guide to College Success for First Gens.”
