Additional Resources FIRST-GENERATION COLLEGE STUDENTS Bentley would not be Bentley without our FirstGeneration college students. In fact, our founder was a first-generation college student! Our First-Generation Student Support Committee is committed to serving our students who identify as first-generation college students. We consider you to be a first-generation student if your parent(s) or guardian(s) did not complete a four-year college degree in the United States. 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 Fostering inclusion and a sense of belonging by providing community-building opportunities that connect you with the First Falcon community 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 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.
