Post-Graduation Planning for First-Generation and/or Low-Income Students
We have built a supportive community for Amherst College first-generation and/or low-income (including international, undocumented and DACA, and transfer) students, particularly as it relates to post-graduation planning. By creating an affirming space where students can access and capitalize on the College’s resources, acquire and integrate transferable skills first-generation and/or low income students are better prepared for professional engagement. All of this is possible because of peer-to-peer support, knowledge-sharing, captivating programs, partnerships with other College departments, and through the generous support of an alum from the Class of `66.
