This is at the core of My Circle of Champions.

First-generation students face unique challenges—and too often, they navigate them alone. Our mission is to change that by helping students build a strong network of champions who support them academically, emotionally, and personally.

Research continues to show what we’ve seen firsthand: when students feel supported, they thrive.
