UConn Nation is proud to be home to thousands of first-generation college students, faculty, and staff.
Who are first generation students?
First generation students come from families where neither a parent nor guardian has a four-year degree or higher from a college or university. Many students whose parents have degrees outside of the United States also identify as First Gen.
What we do
UConn is dedicated to supporting and serving anyone who identifies as First Generation. First-Gen Huskies- including First Gen faculty and staff- are a fundamental part of our campus and a strong, proud part of the Husky pack.
Here you will find information about various campus partners, academic services, clubs and activities, and people who are ready to answer any questions you might have.
