and Community Members

Visibility Campaign

You can't really tell whether someone is first generation college by looking at them. This can lead first generation college students to wonder if they are the only ones here and whether there are others at UCSF who understand what it means to come from this background. First Generation Support Services aims to bring visibility to this otherwise invisible community at UCSF. Watch for new posters and digital signage throughout the campus this fall!
