Being the first for anything can be overwhelming and exciting at the same time. Taking charge of your future career – and livelihood – by being the first in your family to go to college is no exception. Students who do take that step are known as “first generation students,” or “first gen.” At Lakeshore College, we welcome first generation students and admire their determination to succeed for themselves and their families.
