The University of Calgary has officially launched the First-Generation Students program, which will allow first-generation students to access funding and tailored programming to help them transition to life at university. “First-generation students can face challenges with the hidden curriculum of the university, especially in their first few years,” said UCalgary First-Generation Student Programs Co-ordinator Mariann Howell. Howell further explained that these students may not know how to navigate campus resources, build academic connections, or advocate for themselves at university: “The hope is to help them navigate these challenges by offering them resources that are dedicated specifically for them.”
