My 7th grader needs contacts in different U.S. cities to help collect data for a sci project. She would love NYC, DC, Boston, Denver, Miami, and Detroit, but she will appreciate help from anywhere. Very easy & won’t take too much time. Please let me know if you can help! 🔬📊📚
A9: I will work with advisers to advocate for students who may "slip through the cracks" because they will not always know to speak up for themselves or ask questions when they are overwhelmed. I will also communicate more with students on their specific college goals. #ECET2

A:3 On the high school level, it would is important to provide strong academic advisers who are trained in the college process AND the special needs of first generation college students. Ss and parents need a lot of information and won't always feel comfortable asking. #ECET2

A2: 1st gen students face so many challenges. They must overcome not only the complicated processes like navigating the application and financial aide process, but they often also have to overcome confidence issues and family shaming. #ECET2

A1: Creating this culture is important because future first gen college students need to have that vocabulary in their minds daily, and they need to know that higher education is an option for everyone. #ecet2
