About the Program

The Gen 1 Program is designed to guide first-generation students throughout all facets of their college experience. The program’s mission is to build a community of academics, social acceptance and leadership where first generation students feel a sense of acceptance and belonging to the institution. Through diverse programming and intentional collaboration between the Gen1 program and Seton Hall’s campus resources, students are given the tools needed in order to design their own holistic premier student experience.  Gen 1 strives to ensure students are academically and socially acclimated to and in all areas of college life, have the knowledge of and access to all resources, and to graduate within their intended time frame. The Gen 1 Program includes the Peer Mentor Program, Gen 1 Summer Program which is a 3 week Orientation program for incoming and sophomore students, as well as workshops, programming, and financial support throughout the year.
