Congratulations to all @ULLafayette graduates who have been recognized at Commencement ceremonies over the past two days. We love hearing this advice from newly minted, first generation college graduate Artavion @socialenemy_. #FirstToGeaux

As a first generation college graduate, I’ve realized that what you may perceive as lacking is really your super power. Knowing that what I do has meaning, that it ripples throughout my family and beyond, is part of what makes me strive to do even more.

@ULdiversity A4: My biggest surprise was that I did not find my home in the first University I chose.That thought had never crossed my mind.I then had to navigate transferring as a first gen.That experience made me really appreciate when I did find my place. #FirstToGeaux

@TambriaBradford ABSOLUTELY nothing wrong with that! Better to maybe lose a few credits than to do a job you don’t like FOREVER!

I changed my major..doing something TOTALLY different and that's okay! #FirstToGeaux #FirstGeneration

@TambriaBradford @ULdiversity A7) also...it’s okay to change your major...even more than once. It’s okay to not know what you want to get involved in your first year. Just try something/anything out. Spend time on campus! Study there, eat there, socialize there! Opportunities everywhere, guys!

@ULdiversity Q6) I would have loved a summer bridge program where we took a class, worked on campus PT, and had advisors to prep us to give us a head start! Also maybe a #FirstGen sign to wear so if my questions seemed silly, people knew why. 🤣 #FirstToGeaux

@ULdiversity Q5) sounds crazy easy but once I started actually reading emails and signs on campus for resources and opportunities to get involved, the puzzle pieces of the college experience started to come together. It’s how I found my student org that lead me to my now-career! #FirstToGeaux
