AB  - The higher education system can be nebulous – from entrance to graduation, processes involved with financial aid, work study, faculty office hours, forming student connections, career fairs, and more can be intimidating for many students. For first-generation students, whose family members have no or limited experience with the process, these hurdles can seem almost insurmountable. The SD-FIRST program will help fill in the gaps of first-generation students’ home-to-college transition, provide a robust support system by connecting existing campus resources, and provide guidance for staff and faculty on interactions and unique challenges with this student population. Programmatic elements specific for first-generation students, driven by evidence-based resiliency research, aim to provide academic, social, and economic support. The expected outcome of the SD-FIRST program is to achieve a sustainable increased retention and graduation rate, and an increase in emotional intelligence for students participating in the program. The initial cohort of SD-FIRST scholars began in the fall 2021 semester, and the details of the program as well as initial implementation are included in this paper.
