 To celebrate First Generation Student Day, we asked First Gen students for helpful pieces of advice. How important it is to integrate yourself into Marquette and the communities and also find your interests here. So one great way to do that I think is to go to OFAS and not just walk around and actually go to tables to interest you so that when you start off as a freshman you have a basis of things that you can rely on. Some helpful advice that I would give First Gen students is honestly to pray more. Being a First Gen student is a lot of new obstacles coming your way for the first time so being able to reach out to your advisors, faculty and staff would be helpful because they want to see you succeed in college. Give yourself a mentor like a professor or faculty member who you trust to help you navigate through everything.
