First-Generation Faculty and Staff: Please Share Your Stories

Posted: January 26, 2023

By: Outreach Center


The Outreach Center is hosting First-Gen Week, Monday, Jan. 30–Friday, Feb. 3.

The center invites all faculty and staff members who identify as first-generation (SU’s definition of first-generation undergraduate and graduate students whose parents or guardians have not received a U.S. bachelor’s degree) to participate and inspire our students with your stories of persistence and success. Highlighting our first-gen community of staff and faculty allows our students to see that success is possible, and it is our hope that through your stories, they will be inspired in their academic and student life.

Your submission will be featured as First-Generation Spotlights, where each day the center will highlight our first-gen community (students, staff, faculty, alumnx) on its Instagram page @suoutreach. Please submit your story here.
