A first-generation student is one who does not have a parent or guardian with a four-year university degree. You might have older siblings or cousins who have gone to college, but you are still among the first in your family to pursue higher education. Joining the Nicholls family will be an exciting and sometimes unknown experience, but we are here to help make that transition easier. This event will help introduce you to the people and services on campus that are invested in your success at Nicholls!\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-11700fb\" data-id=\"11700fb\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-12c0c92 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"12c0c92\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Join us on <strong>Wednesday, August 5, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. <\/strong>This is a conference-style event allowing you to choose which informational sessions you want to attend.\u00a0 You will customize your day to meet your needs!\u00a0 See below for tentative workshop topics and the day&#8217;s schedule.
