The University of Alabama has received national recognition for first-generation student success, and Culverhouse College of Business is proud to stand alongside the University in supporting and celebrating our first-gen students.
Angel’s entrepreneurial spirit not only helped her manage her tuition costs but also taught her lessons in business and resilience. “I’m proud to be a first-gen graduate,” she said. “I’m proud to represent my family, and proud to have laid the foundation for what’s next.”
“As an alumnus who has been involved with his programs, Quoc has changed my life dramatically for the better. I would not have the job, skills, and knowledge that I have without Quoc’s advisory presence guiding me throughout college of other students in each of these organizations can attest to that.”
“Being in a room full of other first-gen students who had pushed through so many of the same struggles made the night feel even more special. It was a moment to breathe, reflect, and celebrate everything we’d overcome.”
Culverhouse offers a unique gathering place for our first generation community: The Walker and Bill Jones First Generation Spot, or simply “The Spot.” You can find it on the third floor of Hewson Hall, room 3074.
Interested in exploring possibilities related to jobs, careers and places? Our First Gen Community provides various learning opportunities that connect you alumni and external partners on campus and in cities like San Francisco, Memphis and London (United Kingdom).
