Abstract

ABSTRACT: While first-generation college students can face common barriers, there are sometimes unique regional differences that can provide nuances to understanding the needs of this group. Louisiana has a higher proportion of first-generation college students, compared to the national average, and the region has endured multiple natural disasters the past few years. Based on reflections from students and staff from a unique program in New Orleans, this manuscript explores the successes of the program and resilience of its students, offering suggestions for best practices.
