The Center for First-Generation Student Success, an initiative of NASPA and The Suder Foundation, recently announced University of Houston-Clear Lake as one of the 76 new members of the First Scholars Network for 2023-24. To be selected as a First Scholars Network member, UH-Clear Lake displayed a demonstrated commitment to improving experiences and advancing success for first-generation college students.
"While each student's college journey may differ, first-generation students often face unique challenges and obstacles," said UHCL Vice President for Student Affairs Tina Powellson. "But despite the challenges, and like all students, they have the potential to change the trajectory of their lives, their families, and their communities. The challenges first-generation college students face are real, but so are the rewards. Being part of the First Scholars Network will emphasize UHCL's commitment to our first-generation college students, their success, and their great potential to make an impact in our society."
