Additional Resources FIRST-GENERATION COLLEGE STUDENTS The Bentley University First-Generation Student Support committee is committed to serving our students who identify as a first-generation college student. We consider you to be a first-generation student if your parent(s) or guardian(s) did not complete a four-year college degree. Being the first at anything can be difficult, but the commitee is here to help by: n Supporting you by making sure you are aware of and have access to campus resources n Engaging you with opportunities for you to meet other first-generation students n Creating a sense of belonging and inclusivity through community building n Equipping you with the necessary tools to confidently achieve your potential at Bentley Our mission is to create a community of academic and social support that engages and celebrates YOU and empowers YOU to navigate your Bentley University journey to ensure personal and academic success. We recognize your accomplishments inside and outside of the classroom and can’t wait to witness your achievements. For more information on events, email us at GA_FirstGen@bentley.edu.
