Harvard Undergraduate PRIMUS

The Harvard PRIMUS is concerned with the welfare and community representation of first-generation students at Harvard College. For the organization, a first-generation undergraduate student shall be defined as one whose parents or guardians have not completed a course of study at an accredited four-year undergraduate institution, or an equivalent and recognized qualification abroad. PRIMUS will seek to build more opportunities for learning for non-first-generation college students, in the belief that the broader Harvard community needs to understand the first-generation student experience. By communicating with non-first-generation students, PRIMUS will strive to dispel any stigma or stereotype associated with the first-generation identity.
