First-Generation and/or Low-Income Student Success Center

Many parents, siblings, and other relatives attending this year’s Family Weekend came to support students like Emily Sidharta who are first in their families to attend college.

A gift from Kelsey (Bateman) Murphy, ’10, and Bobby Murphy, ’10, creates an endowed directorship for the First-Generation and/or Low-Income Student Success Center and expands undergraduate research and scholarship opportunities.

The eight-week residential program offers first-generation, low-income (FLI) students the opportunity to do research, micro internships, and immersive coursework during the summer between their first and second year.
