First-Generation College Students

Welcome First-Gen Students!

I am first gen

At SSO, we proudly serve first-generation undergraduate and graduate students as students whose parents or guardians have not received a U.S. bachelor’s degree. Some first-generation college students may have siblings who have completed a bachelor’s degree.

Meet some of the members of our first-gen community. If you’re interested in being featured, please contact The Outreach Center at outreachcenter@seattleu.edu.
