"I want you to be okay with being the first," says @UCLA Associate Professor Lorrie Frasure-Yokley. Frasure-Yokley was the first in her family to attend college and now mentors students following in her footsteps. @hari reports for @NewsHour's #highered series #RethinkingCollege

Successful first meeting of the #UCLAImmigrationDataLab. I started this project because #DataIsPower. Ecstatic that its become a space to build strong academic relationships with and between undergrads. Pictured are about half of the students collaborators. #MoreToCome@UCLA_REP
