Over half of undergraduate students in the U.S. are the first in their family to attend an institution of higher learning. These first-generation students are likelier than their peers to be from minoritized backgrounds, to face economic challenges, and to juggle jobs and families in addition to school. And they may be less familiar with the “hidden curriculum”—the implicit norms and knowledge that help students navigate college life.

College and university campuses have a dilemma: With hybrid and remote learning becoming common at most institutions, physical learning spaces are looking worse for wear as students debate the value of even attending classes in person. These days, stepping into a room filled with dozens of students facing forward and staring at a lecturing professor feels somewhat like attending a Zoom meeting in less comfortable clothes — and that’s far from the experience students are hoping for.
