What It Takes to Partner Across First-Gen and Global Education

First-generation students make up over a third of college enrollment, yet fewer than 10% study abroad. DA Global’s latest publication, Global Education as a First-Generation Student Success Partner, offers a practical framework for closing that gap, not through more outreach, but through real partnership between first-gen and global education offices. This panel discussion brings together practitioners to discuss what these partnerships look like in practice, how they can be built, and where institutions can start.
