Gen 1: Leading the Pride

At Community College of Philadelphia, we define a first-generation (Gen 1) student as someone from a household where no primary caregivers have graduated from college.

The Gen 1: Leading the Pride program celebrates students at CCP who are the first in their household to graduate from college. This program seeks to raise awareness the triumphs and challenges of being a first-gen student, while providing the opportunity to:

  • Engage with CCP first-gen faculty, staff and alumni
  • Help first-gen students learn about academic, career and professional development resources that support student success
  • Connect first-gen students locally, regionally and nationally

Students, please complete this form to join our Gen 1: Leading the Pride program.
