FirstGen@UCA Summer Outreach
UCA Peer Coaches will be contacting our newest First Generation students throughout late Spring and Summer to help with the transition into the UCA community. New students admitted for Summer or Fall will receive information from the Peer Coaches to help answer questions they might have (and some they didn’t even know they had) about UCA and getting enrolled for Fall semester.
Have a question for a peer coach? Email us at: studentsuccess@uca.edu
The First2Go Awareness Week is a campus-wide event that seeks to raise awareness of the challenges faced by first-generation college students, as well as highlight resources available to our first gen students. During the First2Go Campaign, faculty/staff are invited to show their support by sharing their own success stories. Campus groups and departments are invited to organize events related to first-generation student success.
First2Go Awareness Week is sponsored by UCA Student Success Services, the Department of Student Transitions, the UCA Family Network, the First-Year Experience Office, the Academic Advising Center, the Office of Student Advocacy and Community, Living/Learning Communities, and Housing & Residence Life.
