This presentation will provide an overview of the speaker’s time in collegiate settings, a brief discussion of the challenges he faced as a first-generation student, and his realization that this identity was a strength. Rather than focusing on the challenges that first-generation students face, this presentation emphasizes the strengths that come from being a first-generation student in a collegiate setting.”
