Celebrating First-Gen.
A first-generation college student is the term used to describe a student who is first in his or her family to attend a four-year college or university, in hopes of earning bachelor’s degree. According to the Center for First-Generation Student Success, one-third of all college students in the United States are first-generation students.

The last year has been an exciting and memorable one for all of us here at the Chambers College. In 2022, students, faculty and staff watched as construction on Reynolds Hall was completed and the first day of the fall semester was held inside the new, innovative building. While this last year may be hard to top, we continue to reach new heights and are hopeful for a successful 2023.

Reynolds is not just a new building. It creates new opportunities to evolve the way we work, learn, interact, collaborate, and teach on campus. As assistant dean for administration and planning, my role is to continue to support the alignment of our resources (financial, people, and infrastructure) to create the flexibility we need to compete in this evolving academic market.
