S E19: Building Social Capital for 1st Gen Students -- Nolvia Delgado // Kaplan Educational Foundation

Nolvia Delgado, Executive Director at the Kaplan Educational Foundation, delves into empowering first-generation students in the post-affirmative action landscape. Building social capital prepares students for professional success, equipping them with the skills to network, self-advocate, and connect with mentors. However, first-generation students must navigate several challenges ranging from cultural differences in education to the pandemic’s impact and remote learning. Today, Nolvia discusses building social capital for first-generation students. The Kaplan Educational Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit public charity, helps high-potential, overlooked and underserved community college students complete their associate's degree, successfully transfer and go on to earn a four-year bachelor's degree at the nation's most highly-selective schools.
