Did you know 60% of RIC students are first generation? These students
have many challenges to overcome, and we, as advisors, are wonderful
resources for them. The thing is, we need to “walk in their shoes” a bit
to understand how best to help them.
The office of the Director of
Faculty Advising and the Faculty Center for Teaching and Learning will
host a discussion about advising first-generation college students. To
begin the conversation, we will watch a short film, A Walk in My Shoes.
Pizza and beverages will be served!
