Job description

The First2 Network knows that far too many of these students either do not successfully persist in STEM pathways through to graduation or drop out of college entirely. We believe that the first two years of college are a critical moment for success in STEM pathways and that by supporting first-generation students to do well and promoting the development of institutional advancement and policy change to better serve these students we will see a real change in persistence and graduation rates.
