The First-Gen Empowerment Series consists of weekly open, drop-in workshops designed to help first-generation college students get familiar with college in general and Ohio State specifically, connect to university resources, and develop strategies to thrive here at Ohio State and beyond! While created with first-gen college students in mind, any student can benefit from these workshops, and all students are more than welcome to attend. No matter where you are in your college journey, you don’t have to go it alone!
Each week, we feature a different topic. To see this week's topic, visit our page for First-Generation College Students.
Many sessions are approved for First Year Success Series, STEP Professional Development Co-Curriculars, and Standards of Excellence with Sorority and Fraternity Life.
The phrase “First-Generation College Student” means different things to different people. Here at Ohio State, our definition refers to students whose parents have not completed a four-year degree. (Even if your siblings went to college!)
