First-Generation Students
Hi, and welcome
to Stetson University!
As a first-generation Hatter you have many reasons to be proud. You have the distinct opportunity to become the first person in your family to graduate from a four-year institution. Not only your family members, but your friends and community are now looking up to you. You will pave a new way and you will set new standards.
Nearly 40% of undergraduates at Stetson University are first-generation Hatters! Stetson University is committed to helping you through this process. For over 127-years the University has demonstrated a strong commitment to first-generation Hatters. Recently, the University adopted a peer mentor model to better serve all first-generation students. Under this model, you are directly paired with students that understand your experience.
Whether you are a prospective first-generation student or a current first-generation Hatter, we are committed to providing the highest quality of support services to help you achieve your academic and personal goals.
