UNLV First Generation Club

1st Generation Club is dedicated to developing ways to support UNLV first-generation, transfer, or non-traditional students to adjust to a new environment, lifestyle, and academic traditions.

1GC promotes a sense of community and support. The purpose of our club is to develop and establish additional support for first-generation students, whose parent(s) have not attained a 4-year college degree. These students have no or very little family collegiate history and are entering into college with limited knowledge about traditions and patterns of college life and academia.

The club is devoted to being a support group and resource for UNLV students to help them understand and utilize their academic and community resources. 

MOTTO: ​“Cultivating a community to assist and ensure success for 1st generation college students in order to achieve their academic, professional, and personal goals.”
