First Gen United is a new organization at Truman State University that aims toward supporting first generation college students by providing a network of peers with similar background experiences, relaying pertinent college information, connecting students with resources and information from the varying departments on campus, assisting in the development of life skills, and mentoring first generation (first gen) students. This project will allow for the mentorship program of First Gen United to be developed so that it can continue to provide support for future first generation college students long after I have left Truman. Ideally, I will not only develop the structure for the program, but I will also begin implementing the program and start the mentorship process. As a result of this program, I hope to make all first generation college students at Truman feel more comfortable, at home, and knowledgeable about college life.
