Faculty and staff at I AM FIRST Luncheon.
Fifty-five CHC staff and faculty attended the I AM FIRST Luncheon on Nov 7 and more than 200 students visited the resource fair on Nov 8.
This is the first time that CHC has participated in a celebration for first- generation college students as part of a nation-wide effort to recognize these students’ experiences and outcomes since the Council for Opportunity in Education (COE) and the Center for First-generation Student Success launched the inaugural celebration in 2017.
Events were held to deepen the campus’s understanding of the systemic barriers plaguing higher education and the supports necessary for this resilient population to continue thriving across education, career, and life.
