With more than 50 percent of our students the first generation in their families to complete a four-year degree, this fall the Office of Diversity and Inclusion is launching an awareness campaign to support the first-generation community here at Chico State. Faculty, staff, and students who are first-generation themselves participated in the campaign, showing their diversity, solidarity, and support of students who are striving toward the same goal.

Student, Michael Doris; staff member, Cecilia Lapolli; and faculty member, Dave Brown share their stories about what it means to be first-gen. Read about their experiences and find more stories.
