@OlagueAryza @NAUJacqueline Disheartening to see institutions like Columbia moving against student interests and determining what future admissions will look like. Concerned about which other colleges will follow and how colleges will evaluate future applicants.

Great article on supporting FirstGen students—many points align with our final project, showing progress is already underway, which was a feel-good feeling. A key focus now is sustaining and scaling these support programs. @NAUJacqueline @CCHEcreateit

@OlagueAryza @NAUJacqueline I can imagine how this change can impact students' aid who can only afford to do so part-time due to the nature of their situations or income. Only time will tell if this will further impact other requests or changes made by the college to help these students.

Students navigating the FirstGen experience often find the journey challenging, especially those who lack family support or guidance. Family involvement can be a deciding factor for a student's success in their college journey @NAUJacqueline #CCHEcreateit

@WallisAle @YouTube @NAUJacqueline I like that you used a YouTube video for this post! I related on a personal level as finding my own advisor was something I had to figure out when I first started my college journey. Such a relatable experience for FirstGen students! @NAUJacqueline #CCHEcreateit

@NicholasDia3 @NAUJacqueline I feel that this is crucial! In my current workplace, we have started to shift towards this approach when having conversations with students, and we can attest to the benefits of empowerment and fostering connections.

FirstGen students are facing tough times as DEI programs have been under constant pressure. Many of these programs are crucial to students' success. This article focuses on the experience of Black FirstGen students.

While budget cuts are widely impacting all across the states, native and indigenous communities are feeling it at an even more alarming rate.
