Flying First Orientation
The Rowan University First Generation Task Force defines a first-generation student as a student whose parents have not completed a degree, or completed a degree in another country, or whose parents may have a degree but the student has limited preparation or resources in their immediate family or support network.
If you are a first-generation student, please join Flying First at a First Generation Welcome Reception at select orientation sessions!
