Proud to work @DominguezHills where over 70% of our students come from families whose parents/guardians did not graduate from college. #CelebratingFirstGen #FirstGen #nationalfirstgenday
This week we celebrated #NationalFirstGenerationCollegeStudentDay!
First-gen students, we hope you take this week to reflect on how much your education has meant for you, but also how much your education has meant for your loved ones. May the celebration continue everyday!❤️
