The First Generation Scholars Residential Learning Community is an innovative, collaborative program that serves self-identified, first-generation students during their first year at Campbell. In partnership with the office of New Student Programs the First Gen RLC provides co-curricular activities, learning spaces, and opportunities to build relationships to supplement and enhance student’s Campbell experience.
First Gen Scholars is a community made up of first year students who identify as a first-generation college student, meaning they are students whose parents have never earned a bachelor’s degree.
Join our community
