Campus community,
More than 60% of Fresno State students are the first in their family to attend college.
Nationally, first-generation students aren't as well prepared for college and don't graduate at the same rate as their peers whose parents earned a college degree. Given that such a large percentage of our students are first-generation, and that increasing retention and graduation rates is one of our strategic goals, IRAP took a look at how Fresno State's first-gen students compare to its continuing gen students.

| Shockwave Flash and Firefox |
http://www.flickr.com/photos/peterfortuna/ / CC BY 2.0 After a few annoying Firefox crashes I figured out that Shockwave Flash was freaking out on me. How I Figured It OutI figured out it was Shockwave Flash plugin by visiting seveal gaming sites and watching the cursor spin and spin. I had to Force quit the browser on my 10.6 by going to Mac->Force Quit->Firefox. I restarted Firefox and disabled all the add-ons by Firefox->Tools-Add-Ons. Went back to a gaming site. The site asked me to install Flash. I then re-enabled Shockwave Flash 10.1.x and watch the browser crash. |
