The Changing Face of Chico State
On the surface, they have little in common.
She’s from a sawmill town in Northern California. He grew up in a housing project in urban San Francisco. She’s studying chemistry while he pursues studio art. She’s white; he’s black. Yet both share a commonality that has seen a marked rise at Chico State in the last five years. Both students are first-generation enrollees—neither of their parents completed a four-year degree.
Today, the University is home to more identities and expressions than ever, spanning ethnicity, gender, area of study, age, experiences, and more. Yet, “first gen” is one of the fastest-rising identity markers. With 52 percent of students identifying as trailblazers in their families, Chico State is focused now more than ever to ensure they achieve their dreams—no matter how high they are set.
