First Gen Student Leadership Program
Why First Gen Students?
First Gen college students are more likely to take remedial courses during their first two years of higher education and twice as likely to drop out within 6 years. GlobalMindED pairs these dynamic students with outstanding mentors who provide valuable insight and opportunities for post-graduate success. These enduring relationships based on shared experiences, along with programs focused on academic persistence, networking, and workplace readiness provide critical skills and tools needed to succeed in academia and global marketplace.
