The First Generation College Student Pre-Orientation Program (FGC POP) has been recognized for dramatically changing the landscape for first-generation students.

Modeled on the EFS curriculum, this one-semester program for first-year students is a unique, immersive option for students beginning their RISD journey.

The inaugural cohort of students to participate in RISD’s First Generation College Student Pre-Orientation Program (FGC POP) graduated in May after benefitting from the program’s opportunities.

FGC POP is a two-and-a-half-week summer orientation program designed to help first-gen students navigate college life and make the most of available opportunities.

FGC POP lays the foundation for how to navigate college life.
