[00:05:08.400]A first generation student is a student whose parents
[00:05:11.000]or guardians do not have a four year degree.
[00:05:13.950]If your parents or guardians started college
[00:05:16.020]and stopped, you're first gen.
[00:05:18.150]If your parents or guardians
[00:05:19.380]earned a certificate or an associate's degree,
[00:05:22.080]you're first gen.
[00:05:23.580]If your parents or guardians never went to college,
[00:05:26.190]you're first gen.
[00:05:27.600]If you have a sibling who's currently attending college
[00:05:30.330]but your parents don't have a college degree,
[00:05:32.520]you're still first gen.
[00:05:34.230]And if your parents are guardians, went to college
[00:05:36.420]outside the United States, you're first gen.
[00:05:39.830]Being a first gen student is exciting, but it
[00:05:42.450]can be overwhelming too.
[00:05:44.100]It can sometimes feel like other students have
[00:05:46.350]some secret playbook that explains how everything works,
[00:05:49.260]where all the resources are, and what all those
[00:05:51.180]acronyms stand for.
[00:05:52.980]The First Husker program is specifically
[00:05:54.870]designed to help first gen students get connected
[00:05:57.420]and comfortable on campus
[00:05:59.160]and start building the strong support network
[00:06:01.440]they need to help them thrive in college.
[00:06:04.200]First Huskers are invited to move to campus early
[00:06:06.690]on Sunday, August 13th, and participate
[00:06:09.870]in a four day, foundational program
[00:06:11.820]August 14th through 17th,
[00:06:13.830]where you'll make new friends, connect
[00:06:15.630]with CAST coaches and peer mentors
[00:06:17.790]and get settled in and comfortable on campus
[00:06:20.190]before all the other students arrive and classes start.
[00:06:23.880]There are just 200 spots available
[00:06:26.220]so be sure to sign up today.
[00:06:28.650]You can follow the QR code
[00:06:30.120]or the link on your screen to fill
[00:06:32.100]out the First Husker application, and if you have questions,
