Midland College to Host Information Sessions for First-Generation College StudentsJune 03, 2025

Midland College is hosting two upcoming information sessions designed to support individuals who will be the first in their families to attend college. These sessions are open to the community and intended to provide clear, helpful guidance for those who may be unsure about how to take the next step toward higher education.

The sessions will include brief overviews of Midland College’s admissions, academic advising, financial aid information, and other support systems tailored specifically to the needs of First-Generation students. Staff will be available to visit one-on-one, and light refreshments will be provided.

Sessions will take place on the following dates:

• Tuesday, June 10 | 6:00–7:00 p.m.
  Midland College Main Campus, Rotary Room (Cowden Dining Hall)
  3600 N. Garfield, Midland, TX
  
  
• Tuesday, July 8 | 6:00–7:00 p.m.
  Cogdell Learning Center

Midland College recognizes that navigating college for the first time can be overwhelming. “Many of our students come from families where attending college is a new experience,” said Ida Curiel, MC’s Associate Director of First Generation & Post College Initiatives. “We want to provide a welcoming setting to offer support, answer questions, and show students that college is possible — and that they don’t have to figure it out alone.”

Midland College is committed to expanding access to higher education and ensuring student success at every stage. As a community-centered institution, MC continues to invest in programs and services that help more people achieve their academic and career goals — especially those who are just starting the journey.
