More than 17 percent of MSU undergraduates are first-generation students, and many of our graduate and professional students are trailblazers in their families as well. Our First-Gen Bobcat Advocate program trains faculty and staff to better connect with and support this important student population.

 

Below is a directory of all faculty and staff who have committed to serving and supporting First-Generation College Students at Montana State University! The list is in alphabetical order by last name.
