First-Generation Stories
Support is around you
Nazareth staff and faculty — including some who are first-gen college grads themselves — are glad to be resources to you.
Bryan Adams
Bryan Adams, assistant clinical professor in the School of Business and Leadership, was a first-gen student when he attended Nazareth.
What he sees today: First-gen students "are heavily invested in and care deeply about earning a college degree" and tend to be "incredibly self-motivated and fiercely independent."
His tip: Get to know faculty and staff. It's OK to ask for support.
