I Am A First-Gen Niner is a collaborative initiative to help our First-Generation Niners on campus feel proud of their First-Gen Identity and celebrate the milestones in their First-Generation Niner experience.
What's a First-Gen Niner?
A First-Generation Niner is a student who is the first in their immediate family to attend a college, which typically means neither their parents nor their guardians received a university degree from a four-year institution.
UNC Charlotte has a strong community to support the unique experiences of this growing population of students and families, and help first-gens thrive at Niner Nation.
