NAU CCHE-650

@markbernal04 @NAUJacqueline I agree! I had students that would drive every weekend from NAU to the valley to be with family. I think a discussion on first-gen family outreach should be had.

@OlagueAryza @NAUJacqueline That is disappointing. With the roadblocks already faced, I worry this will cause a reduction in applicants. Personally, I plan on hitting the ground and committing to more outreach.

Among navigating college/university as a first-gen, there’s new vocabulary thrown at them. Here’s a handy glossary for first-gen students!

Figuring out how to pay for school as a first-gen can be intimidating. Here is a link with scholarships for first-gen’s.

@Alexandria52775 @NAUJacqueline I discussed the use of AI in resumes/cover letters with career dev, and they encouraged it strictly as a tool. I know students are using it. My worry is it’s taking away the college educated mind. So, how can a cc/uni adapt?

@courtevans21 @NAUJacqueline I love finding ways to utilize tech in education. Whether anyone likes it or not innovation and tech will be in the classrooms. How can the classroom stay ahead, when the pace of new tech is so fast? @NAUJacqueline #CCHEcteateit

As a former academic advisor I found a lot of first-gen student(including myself) were there own worst enemies with self doubt. It wasn’t until someone introduced a growth mindset that changed everything.

Attending a college/university as a first generation student opens doors to new experiences. One of the rewarding experiences can be studying abroad. How can we help make this process attainable for first-gen students?

@OlagueAryza @NAUJacqueline Thanks for sharing! I never heard of this term.

Brainstorming here: there is much talk about how we can help first-gen students during their higher education journey. But how can we offer support to parents of first-gen students?

@markbernal04 @NAUJacqueline Great find! I’m surprised to see some institutions don’t already have an office dedicated to first-gen students.

Interesting post on first gen students at NAU.

40% of @NAU undergraduate students are the first in their family to attend college.

Programs like Access2Excellence and the Arizona Promise Program are opening doors of opportunity for families across the state and creating generational change.

@Alexandria52775 @NAUJacqueline Thank you for sharing this. Very concerning, especially for first gen students who are already facing an up hill battle.
