What’s it like to be a “first-generation” college student?
Dr. Ryan McCall, Vice President of Academic Affairs for Southern State Community College, can tell you because he is one. And he’s in good company.
A hefty percentage of Southern State’s students are the first in their families to claim the role of college student.
The public is invited to a free workshop of “Just a Farm Boy with Initials After a Name” by Dr. McCall from 10:30-11:30 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 16, in Room 107 on the college’s Central Campus, 100 Hobart Drive, Hillsboro.
Dr. McCall earned his bachelor’s degree from Shawnee State University, master’s degree from Morehead State University, and doctorate degree from Ohio University.
Sponsored by the Carl D. Perkins Grant, the Nov. 16 workshop will ask “What’s it like to be a ‘first-generation’ college student,” “How do people say ‘yes’ to college when others say ‘no’” and “How do people begin to build a new tradition in their families that involves going to college.”
