abstract
This study will compare first generation Central Wyoming College (CWC) graduates to all CWC college graduates, class of 2009. The objective is to investigate whether services offered by the college, specifically; Academic Advising, Student Success Center (TRiO), Counseling Services, Computer Labs, Financial Aid Advising, Student Organizations, and Outereach Services, were utilized by the graduates, how important the resources were to their experience and how satisfied they were with them. It is hypothesized that (1) first generation, graduating CWC students used the resources more often and (2) those graduates indicate that the services were important to them more often than the other graduates. We will utilize an exit interview conducted by CWC staff. The information will then be compiled and will compare first generation responses against non-first generation responses within CWC. With the knowledge gained from this study it may be possible to better serve the needs of first generation college students, thereby increasing retention and successful completion of their degrees. note
