A new program at CU Denver's school of business aims at helping first-generation college students find community and resources to succeed on their path toward completing a career.
DENVER – Going to college is an important milestone for many, but first-generation college students may have additional challenges. Thanks to a new program at CU Denver, however, these students are able to find support and community as they step into this next stage in life.
FaM helps students, “really navigate college, activate opportunities and bring them into spaces and places that they normally may not see themselves in, so that we can really ensure that they feel supported, that they feel like they have a place they can call home and deepen community ties,” Hen said.
Ronnie Solano and Joseph De Oliveira are two students currently enrolled in the program who say the program has helped them get exposed to a myriad of companies, while at the same time helping them develop the skills they need to become competitive prospects once they graduate.
