Coaching for First-Generation College Students: Unifying Students to Appreciate Diversity

With the recent incidences of intolerance, misunderstanding, and violence on college campuses and in some communities, the first-generation-to-college movement is a way to heal, connect, and rebuild leadership and a diverse, valued student body from the ground up. During this webinar, participants explore current issues, ways that colleges can organize themselves to unify diverse people, and how a culture of coaching can break down even the most hardened walls to get students and faculty to understand and appreciate each other. Participants gain a practical sense of what they can do to be part of a solution that draws on the gifts, talents, and abilities of all people regardless of their backgrounds. The webinar facilitator has over 25 years of higher education experience and an extensive background in college readiness, admissions, graduation, career planning, and personal and career coaching.
