Panel Description: Nearly one in three undergraduate students attending college in the US are first-generation students – those who have no parent with a bachelor’s degree. While all students may struggle with the transition to college, the problem is intensified for first generation college students who face additional adjustment barriers and difficulty accessing and understanding important resources. During this group discussion, students will have the opportunity to speak with Weill Cornell Medicine graduate students who are the first in their families to attend a 4-year college and then go on to pursue advanced degrees. Panelists will discuss their personal paths, the challenges they faced and advice they wish to pass on to others.
