Arizona State Aggressively Opening Doors for First-generation Students
Catering to the needs of first-generation college students — a
large percentage of whom are low-income and minority — was the
focus at the Education Writers Association’s seminar
“Accelerating Innovation: New Ideas for Colleges &
Newsrooms.”
“There are first generation students everywhere,” says Maureen
Hoyler, the president of the Council for Opportunity in
Education. “These are not new issues. They are really
longstanding concerns.”
