I sat in on the First Generation and Low Income UM student group had a great discussion panel of successfully matched M4s who shared may great tips, ideas, and experience. Great bunch of very resilient and industrious students. #firstgen #FGLI #UM

watching a 15 second commercial to access a 5 second YouTube video so I can be triple sure I'm pronouncing "episteme" correctly in a talk 😬

Most entrepreneurs are also FirstGens. Also figuring things out on their own, breaking new ground, pioneering new pathways without an existing network.
Maria is one of them. Listen to her story. #firstgen #firstgenproud #celebratefirstgen #startup #entrepreneurship
How did I end up with a “job” where I get a spring break? #FirstGen
It’ll be catastrophic. Already seeing a lot of talented #firstgen students saying they will be unable to attend #medical school due to the caps. Only kids of multimillionaires/billionaires will be able to go to med school, and trust me they are not going to work in rural Montana/Idaho
Happy St. Patrick’s Day 🍀
To all our FirstGens chasing dreams with grit, humor, and a little bit of luck, today’s your reminder that you are the magic. May your path be filled with opportunities as bright as a rainbow 🌈

Imagine how different it would be if the school system was designed for them. #firstgen #celebratefirstgen #firstgenproud

Few people know that this FirstGen became the CEO of Goldman Sachs.
His great grandparents immigrated to the U.S. from what is Poland today.

That feeling of navigating college without a roadmap.
Great episode, of the podcast I mean 😉

Being FirstGen isn’t about fitting into a category. It’s about owning a story that rewrites what’s possible.

Have you ever wanted something so bad it’s all you could think about for months straight? Have you ever found yourself having restless nights because of it? I have so much waiting for me in this country but I don’t know if I can reach it.

Anything can help me make my dream come true!
Being a first gen student from a low-income family makes things like these feel so out of reach, but I am determined to prove that wrong!

Grateful to colleagues who devoted extra time to evaluate my impact in research and pedagogy - and to all in my community who mentored me to see this day. (And a year early, at that!) #firstgen

New research shows help seeking is limited when students reach that point.

Ein Prof aus einer Akademikerfamilie zu mir als Diplomandin, #Arbeiterkind, #firstgen Jahre zuvor: Arbeitslose sind nur faul, selbst schuld. Ok, was mit ihnen unter H4 passiert.
Das eigene Kind nahm mit dem Prof aber schon früh an Konferenzen teil, wurde gut „geparkt“ bei Bekannten Kollegen.
