FIRST GENERATION PATHWAY

CREATING A SUSTAINABLE CULTURE OF UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH FOR FIRST GENERATION COLLEGE STUDENTS AT UC

We are also pleased to announce an inaugural cohort of first-generation college students who have embarked on a Pathway to Undergraduate Research. The research experience includes stipend support to aid in student participation in research. The cohort comprises 8 first-generation college students who participated in a series of training that prepared them to make immediate impact in a research group focused on measurement science. The workshops included a laboratory safety, laboratory etiquette and best practices, and research 101 workshop. The group also comprises 3 graduate student and 1 undergraduate student mentors. The kick-off meeting was the beginning of establishing a new community and culture to support first generation students in chemistry. The cohort meets monthly to share their experiences in research and participate in professional development workshops.
