First Generation Students

As a First Generation student at Trent University there are many social events to help connect you to other First Generation students, faculty and university staff.

Who is a First Generation Student?

First Generation students are the first in their family to attend a post-secondary institution.  More specifically, students who have parents who did not complete a post-secondary (college or university) degree or did not attend a post-secondary (university or college) institution are considered 'first generation students'.  

Upcoming Events for First Generation Students

All events for First Generation Students have been postponed due to COVID-19. 

During this time, First Generation Students can find us on Instagram  where we will be posting tips for incoming Trent First Generation Students.

We are also available through email at firstgen@trentu.ca
