During this workshop, we will review the unique aspects of CSP designed to support first-generation, and other underrepresented students at the U-M Ann Arbor. During this panel discussion, current first-generation college students will also describe their first-hand experiences navigating the university and how CSP helped them overcome these obstacles and challenges.
