Serving as a resource hub for current USC students as they navigate the campus and provide support in building community.
The First Generation Plus Success Center offers student success workshops, collaborates with offices across campus to create co-sponsored programs, and designs welcome experience for incoming first-generation plus students. Our goal is to foster a culture of belonging and inclusion that facilitates the transition of first-generation, undocumented, transfer, and former foster youth students into college life.
Mission
The First Generation Plus Success Center at USC serves as a resource hub for current first-generation, undocumented, transfer, and former foster youth students as they navigate campus. Our mission is to foster a sense of belonging and a culture of holistic well-being through intentional mentorship, supportive services, and leadership opportunities.
We encourage and empower the USC community to embrace and celebrate the multiplicity of identities the first-generation college student population holds.
Vision
The First Generation Plus Success Center promotes student engagement and visibility with a focus on student involvement and success of all first-generation, undocumented, transfer, and former foster youth college students attending USC.
