Education is a door to opportunity, but recruitment, admissions, and enrollment policies dictate how wide that door opens. Great findings from from @IHEPTweets about the policies that need to be re-examined for inclusivity, including transfer pathways. ihep.org/publication/mo…

As a #firstgen I struggled with "academic professionalism" during graduate school & on the market. Was I polished enough? How loud could I be? Should I be subversive? Combative? Performative? I finally realized that a uni afraid to engage folx like me was not worth my time. 1/2

This post is unavailable.

Some folks call it "Transparency" while we call it "Meta" Lessons. Either way, it's probably the most fundamental thing all college instructors should incorporate into their teaching for first-year and #firstgen students. Don't assume students know your *unwritten* expectations.

Something many new college students don't realize is that they can ask for specific resources that the library doesn't have yet. Sometimes you'll receive as inter-library loan, or the library may acquire it!

I’m #firstgen, and have an undergrad degree in English from a religiously affiliated university. I never really thought this could be my path. Lots of people told me it couldn’t be. Then lots of OTHER people I trust told me to go for it.

I think the academy needs more stories like this: an under appreciated fact of many #firstgen and POC scientists is that our “vacations” aren’t always vacays. I’d love to hear your “vacation” stories. 1st week back in California = discussing finances and new med probs in my fam

We spent some time defining "meta-curriculum " on our facebook page today. For us, meta-curriculum means asking students to be critical about academic genres even as they work to learn them. How do academic genres consolidate power? #firstgen #HigherEd bit.ly/3hZ1fPG

Today in America, the value of a college degree varies by race, ethnicity, income, and gender—and it shouldn't. New findings from the Postsecondary Value Commission showcase the actions needed to create a postsecondary system that provides equitable value for students.
