We asked faculty and staff, "What would you say to your first-generation college-self"?
"Don't be afraid to follow your interests even if it means doing it alone." Dan Perez, Program Coordinator, Parent & Family Programs.
"I would tell myself to continue to be curious and to continue to learn about how my values align with a higher purpose. I would also tell myself that every setback is an opportunity for growth, realignment, and strength." Lindsay Romasanta, Director Student Success Coach
"I would remind myself that my family worked hard to get me to where I am, and that I don't have to do college on my own." Karina M. Viaud, Senior Officer, Parent & Family Programs.
