St. Thomas Welcomes First Generation College Students
If you're the first in your family to go to college, or your parents did not graduate from college, you are considered a first-generation student. The University of St. Thomas is proud that many first-generation students have chosen to attend our institution. This webpage and the Proud To Be First program are designed to aid our first-generation students in their transition to college. Take advantage of these resources as well as the students, staff and faculty at St. Thomas who are here to help you.
New! This year, we offered a section of the first-year experience for first-generation college students taught by Dr. Maddox who also identified as a first-generation college student.
