\"Campus<\/p>\n

The University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at M\u0101noa<\/a> has been welcomed to the Center for First-generation Student Success<\/a> 2020–21 cohort of First-gen Forward Institutions<\/a> for its commitment to improving experiences and advancing outcomes of first-generation college students. The initiative was created by the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators (NASPA<\/abbr>) and the Suder Foundation.<\/p>\n

“As a proud first-generation student myself, I am particularly proud of our current efforts to create a welcoming campus environment for first-generation students,” said Interim Vice Chancellor for Students Lori M. Ideta<\/strong>. “I am delighted with our campus being accepted into the 2020–21 cohort of First-gen Forward institutions. I am personally and professionally invested in ensuring that our campus strengthens our efforts in this area for this special population of students.”<\/p>\n

First-gen Forward Institutions receive professional development opportunities, community-building experiences and a first look at the center\u2019s research and resources. NASPA<\/abbr> also hosts a First-gen Forward Workshop where UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa can engage with other institutions who are also creating environments that improve the experiences and outcomes of first-generation students.<\/p>\n

“First-gen Forward is an exciting opportunity for the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at M\u0101noa to join an elite community of professionals prepared to share evidence-based practices and resources, troubleshoot challenges, generate knowledge, and continue to advance the success of first-generation students across the country,” stated Kevin Kruger, president and CEO<\/abbr> of NASPA<\/abbr>. “We are excited to see a groundswell of activity from the First-gen Forward cohort and know UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa will be a significant contributor.”<\/p>\n
