The First Gen Advisory Committee is comprised of Faculty, Staff, and Students who are invested in continually improving the experience of First Generation College Students at Truman State University. Many members of the committee themselves are First Generation College Students, and all committee members are supportive of First Gen Students at Truman.
The First Gen Advisory Committee is committed to supporting all First Generation College Students at Truman State University through providing resources and supporting our new First Gen organization, First Gen United. The Committee assists with various programmatic efforts to bring First Gen Students together, such as the First Gen Celebration, which occurs each fall. The committee also aims to provide professional development opportunities for faculty and staff members to learn how to better support First Generation College Students within their Position.
