“A large-scale investment in first-generation student programming is practically unheard-of; this looks different than anything we’re really seeing right now. I think there is a lack of understanding sometimes at the state government level of who first-generation students are and the challenges institutions have in supporting students…w88 online sports betting could really be a national leader in this space.”
