What if the key to enriching our educational system lies in a group that's often overlooked? Discover why first-generation college students are crucial to the lifeblood of higher education in my latest solo episode. I'll take you through three compelling data points that highlight the massive presence of first-gen students in U.S. colleges—over half of undergraduates! Yet, these students face a staggering gap in graduation rates compared to their peers, raising critical questions about institutional support and retention.
Join me as I unpack my philosophy: once a student is admitted, it's our duty to ensure their success. As we look ahead to demographic shifts, understanding and supporting first-gen students becomes not only a moral imperative but a strategic advantage for enriching the entire educational community.
