.@MichelleObama’s #BackToSchool message to first-gen students:
1. Don’t ever doubt you deserve to be there
2. Don’t be afraid to try new things
3. Don’t try to do this alone
4. Never forget there are so many people who believe in you #BetterMakeRoom
@EpochEducation Thank you! The challenge is, of course, finding the right partnership and funding to get these programs off the ground. It’s not easy to find the champions of #edequity and #firstgen students! But we do the hard work anyway, right?
We enjoyed participating in the second annual #FirstGenerationChat hosted by @ACTEquity! Great tips for #FirstGen families and the communities that support them. Read this thread for ideas about the emotional transition to #highered.
@ACTEquity Our advice to #firstgen community: Be proud of your accomplishments! Also remember that everyone needs help in school so use every resource available to help you succeed. Can’t find a resource? Ask!#FirstGenerationChat#studentsuccess
@Dr_Sherell @ACTEquity Yes, degree completion is key. It’s important for students to remember that college acceptance is just one significant milestone. Ultimately, having the college diploma is what transforms lives and communities. #firstgen#studentsuccess
@ACTEquity A3: Colleges can partner with community organizations to offer bridge programs that teach the emotional tools necessary for college success. Doing this in high school can help level the playing field for #FirstGen students #FirstGenerationChat
