Job description

High Rocks First2 Network - Fairmont State University

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

The members will be conducting an outreach campaign to help incoming students. The members will create a proposed campaign, working with Fairmont State's Communications, and Creative Services, and then execute the campaign. The members will be assigned projects they are "point" on from among the First Generation planned programs and initiatives and will serve as the project manager for their point project.
