From an Advisor

The new to college student has many faces and backgrounds.

The new to college student could be:
    1)..an adult learner that is changing a career but never attended college(this is a first year Adult Student)
    2)..a student with disabilities
    3)..a student from a color community(e.g.African American, Asian and Pacific Islander American, Latino, Native American, multiracial and biracial)
    4)..a LGBT(lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) student 
    5)..an International student
    6)...a first-generation college student facing first-year challenges
    7)..a veteran
    8)..an honor student

I am sure there are many other faces but the above list just gives a few.
