Happy First-Gen Day from the LEAD Lab! Many of the members of our team are first-generation college students, so we wanted to give a few of them a special shout-out today. Thank you to Alexa, Mariah, Telise, and Paola for all your contributions to our team and child dev research!
For the 1 in 5 #UMD undergrads who are first in their families to go to college, navigating classes and financial aid is tough. Our new First-Generation Student Association offers community and support to #FirstGenTerps 💛 go.umd.edu/1tl9 | #FirstGenDay
