In Experiences from First Generation College Graduates, 31 alumni
who were the first in their family to obtain a college degree share
their experiences in college. These stories illuminate how the
struggles of first-generation students are primarily due to a
combination of multiple social inequities that are ignored,
reinforced, and perpetuated by exclusive college systems. These
authors speak directly to current and future first generation
students, offering tips and advice for success, along with powerful
words of encouragement in their emotionally rich narratives.
College faculty and staff are challenged to shift their
perspectives from viewing these students from a deficit lens or
attempting to make them more like continuing-generation students,
to instead having deeply honest confrontations with the pedagogies
and structures of college, which are frequently so ingrained that
they are invisible, and that cater to continuing-generation
students, who are often predominantly white, middle- and
upper-class. Colleges can create a more equitable system in which
universities are enriched by the wisdom, experiences, and talents
of first-generation students while promoting a generative culture
for all students.
