Engagement in collegiate activities, including student organizations, on-campus work and faculty-led research, are considered high-impact practices, tied to higher persistence and graduation rates as well as better overall outcomes among college students. Recent data from Inside Higher Ed and Generation Lab suggests first-generation students are being left behind in on-campus experiences, highlighting equity gaps in who is benefiting from campus co-curriculars. A May 2024 Student Voice survey found almost half (47 percent) of first-generation students have not participated in any activities, including student clubs and organizations, research opportunities, paid work or volunteer roles on campus, a figure that was 20 percentage points higher than continuing-generation students’ (26 percent).
