Our Crowdfunding Groups
First Generation is a term used to identify a student whose parents have not earned a post-secondary degree. There are thousands of students at the University of Memphis who are the first generation in their family to attend college, and many of our faculty and staff are also first-generation. Being a first-generation student means that you have an outstanding opportunity to write your own story, create your own community, and thrive here at the UofM! To do so, it is important that students take advantage of the supportive resources and programs provided to them at no cost through the Office of First-Generation Student Success (OFGSS).
Our mission in the OFGSS is to provide individual and collective support to all First-Generation students across campus through holistic coaching and counseling. The OFGSS serves as an info hub to connect first-gen students & their families to all campus resources & departments.
