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

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

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.

Chance to Study Abroad Slipping Away The aim of this project is to help turn my dream of studying abroad into a reality. Having this opportunity is one I don’t want to miss.

Chance to Study Abroad Slipping Away www.crowdfunder.com/p/dream-of-s...

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!

Beyond thrilled my colleagues voted to promote me to full Professor of Law at Brooklyn Law!!

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

40% of first-generation college students report seriously considering leaving college — nearly twice the rate of continuing-generation peers.

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

Texas State University President Kelly Damphousse says he sympathizes with first generation students as he was a first generation student as well. He advises students who feel unsure to reach out to thier peers, professors, and advisers to find guidance. #txst #firstgen
