Become a Carolina Firsts Advocate
Faculty and staff are invited to become a Carolina Firsts Advocate
NOTE: This training is currently being redesigned and is on hold. The Center for Student Success tentatively plans to resume offering this training during the Spring of 2023.
As a Carolina Firsts Advocate, you will join a committed group of professionals dedicated to student success, appreciating the experiences of first-generation college students, and supporting students on their path to graduation. We currently have advocates from over 50 departments at UNC-Chapel Hill. Please consider becoming an Advocate today! You can make a difference in the life of a Carolina First.
The training will include:
- An overview of the experiences of first-generation college students at Carolina
- A discussion of barriers to college completion
- A discussion of factors linked to college persistence and completion
- Features of effective college programs and supports
- University resources
