First-Generation Students and Academics

The University of Bamberg is once again participating in the nationwide Diversity Day, an initiative of the Diversity Charter. With its focus on first-generation students and academics, the University of Bamberg is highlighting the subject matter of being the first among one's family to attend college. Lectures, panel discussions, and workshops for students, early-career researchers, staff, and the general public will address the multifaceted topic of first-time academics in its different dimensions.
