universities in a variety of sizes and locations. A large majority of our students, bothfirst-generation and general population come from a rural background. The authors would alsolike to survey students deeper on the themes that emerged from the above data to gain a betterunderstanding of the issues facing first-generation students. If proposed changes areimplemented at WVU Tech, the authors will survey the students afterwards to see ifimprovements were made and if any new concerns have arisen.References[1] WVUIT Common Data Set 2017-2018.
