What are the five things colleges need to know about college hunger as they prepare for the fall? Find out in our op-ed in today's @insidehighered 👇 insidehighered.com/views/2021/07/…
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…
Former I'm First! blogger and #firstgen college grad, Alexa, wrote an impactful piece about how she feels about the culture of internships: imfirst.org/2018/09/05/how…
Are you a #Parent currently in #College? @EdTrust and @SupportGenHope want to hear from YOU about how we can make #HigherEd more affordable for parenting students. Help us make change & take the survey today: edtrust.org/make-college-a… #StudentParent #CollegeAffordability
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
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.
Discrimination against students based on their sexual orientation or gender identity is sex discrimination prohibited by #TitleIX. Our new fact sheet, with @CivilRights, is a resource for students and families: www2.ed.gov/about/offices/…
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
Please join us in celebrating FOUR YEARS as a #FirstGenDocs community! As co-founders of this platform, we never could have imagined such long term support and diverse participation. THANK YOU for making this platform what it is. We love y’all! 🥰🥰🥰
The number of high school graduates who went on to college in fall 2020 declined 6.8%, according to @NSClearinghouse. The drop was more stark in high-poverty high schools at 11.4%, compared with a drop of 2.9% at low-poverty high schools. time.com/5951236/colleg…

Are you a college student who is also a parent? If so, we want to hear from you! Share your personal story & experiences in our survey with @SupportGenHope here: edtrust.org/CollegeParentS… #College #HigherEd
Connect with fellow #FirstGen students using the Routh Center's new network for first-generation faculty and staff! The network provides support for all first-generation students and assists in preparation for future leadership roles. 👩🎓👨🎓 @TAMUOSS tx.ag/FsjkA1P
The Sociology Opportunities for Undergraduate Leaders (SOUL) program supports and engages students who are the first in their families to attend college. LINK TO READ MORE: engaged.umich.edu/news-features/… #EngagedMichigan #StudentLeaders #firstgen
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.
We are excited to announce that the application for the summer virtual #FIRSTgen Orientation is live! Please take a look, and send your students, high school seniors, and loved ones to check this out. And let us know if you have questions! firstgenorientation.com/application/
