第一代龙 strive to provide resources to students who are the first in their families to go to college. We host National First-Generation College Student day every year on campus where spend the day celebrating all students who are the pioneers of their families going to college through panels, 讨论, 和社交活动. We also host an all-day fundraiser during our celebrations to help an incoming first-gen student with tuition costs. Once a month we email a newsletter where we celebrate the stories of TU alumni, 工作人员, 教师, and students who are first-generation. # ImFirst # FirstGenDragons
