Being a first generation college student.... I can't really confide in my adopted parents about college, because they don't really know about it. My older brother has a bachelor's and I'm trying to get 3 phds. ♥️ #studyon #snhu #wilburwrightcollege #firstgencollege #college

🚀 This Wednesday, May 1st, join us for a monumental moment at bit.ly/WHsummit2024! Reflecting on my journey as a half-indigenous, queer, first-gen college student at @GenevaCollege, co-hosting not 1, but 2 White House Summits with @WHOSTP and unveiling America's inaugural cross-sector national strategy for STEMM equity & excellence is surreal. But it shouldn't be about luck or coincidence. Every individual deserves equitable opportunities to contribute to society. Our STEMM systems must evolve to unlock America's full talent and innovation potential, which is at the heart of @SOA_2050! 🌟 Shout out to @Penn_State for believing & investing in me as a doc student and beyond, to @KebleOxford for inspiring me to go into #HiEd, to @valdostastate for letting me teach amazing students as an Assistant Professor, to @APLU_News for equipping me for Association Leadership, and to @AAAS for giving me wings to soar and the STEMM Equity DREAM TEAM - #ISEED! @NIH @EPA @NSB @ENERGY @STEMecosystems @NSF @NCWIT @500QueerSci @FirstGenCollege @SACNAS @AAUW @NAACP @ABRCMS @NSTA @STEMconnector @PSU_CollegeOfEd @DoDstem @AISES @LGBTQPresidents @ASHEoffice @AERA_EdResearch @AERADiv_J @JoeBiden @VP @FLOTUS @POTUS
