My dissertation focused on the lived experiences of #firstgenstudents @CUEngineering, so it's great to see @CUBoulder focusing on this critical population. We won't meet our institutional mission until we amplify and include #firstgenstudents into our DEI work!

Tfw my lil sis calls me to ask me questions about transitioning from a cc student to an @SDSU student. 😭👩🏾‍🎓 She is so excited for the fall semester! 💗 #firstgenstudents


For 26 of the past 36 years I’ve spent this weekend in August participating in or working at new student orientation on a college campus. Always exciting to see young, smart and hopeful people begin this journey. College can be positively life-changing. #FirstGenStudents

This story hit home. I wasn’t the first to attend an Ivy, but I was the first to navigate a system that felt just as foreign. Like many #FirstGenStudents, I’ve felt both guilt and pride. You don’t owe perfection, just the courage to take up space. chalkbeat.org/newyork/2025/0…

Tutors, mentors, friends: Lessons from an immigrant college student

I sometimes felt out of place at my Ivy League School. Here’s how I found my way.


Stories like this remind me of the talent we often overlook. I immigrated at 12, worked full-time through college, and didn’t know what a résumé was until senior year. #FirstGenStudents are already leading. I’m thankful to those who believed in me. calmatters.org/commentary/202…

My only ‘inheritance’ is education: Why first-generation college students strive

For many Latino students, college seems like a foreign country. Many work jobs, are food insecure and yet aim to graduate. Don't count us out; we are the future.
