Alkek Library has staff dedicated to undergraduate students who may be novice researchers and new to the library. We also offer advanced or subject-specific research assistance by Subject Librarians.

What is First Gen?
A first-generation student is someone whose parents/guardians did not complete a four-year college degree or a student raised by a single parent/guardian who did not complete a four-year college degree. (TXST FirstGen Proud)
The term “first-generation” may seem to be the newest buzzword in higher education, yet, it has been actively used for decades. However, shifting populations entering higher education, continual increases in first-generation college student enrollment, debate surrounding rising tuition and costs, and genuine desires for a rise in graduation rates and a better prepared workforce has positioned the experiences of first-generation college students as a renewed focus across postsecondary education. (NASPA)
