Ithaca College

Student Affairs and Campus life is sponsoring the livestreaming of the 2018 Convening on First-Generation Student Success event on Tuesday, January 30. 

This event is hosted by the Center for First-generation Student Success, an initiative of NASPA and The Suder Foundation.

This livestream will be available from 9:00 am – 4:30pm in the Six Mile Creek Room.

You can come and spend the day or come and go as you’re able.

On January 30th, the Center for First-generation Student Success will gather higher education institution and industry leaders in in Arlington, VA for a discussion of the priorities and opportunities available for advancing institutional ability to advance first-generation student outcomes.  This live stream is intended to be a virtual means of participation for leaders, practitioners, and scholars invested in first-generation work.  Because the day is highly interactive, the chat feature of the live stream will serve as a moderated small group for discussions and ideas.  We will also take questions from live stream participants during the plenary panel. You may also follow the Center @FirstgenCenter and use the #FirstgenForward to follow live conversations about the day.

The proposed schedule for the day is noted below.
