Last month, I gave the opening keynote at the @FirstgenCenter conference, discussing my concept of structural belonging and how institutional policies, practices, and norms can demonstrate to students they belong. Check out this recap!
Excited to be in Anaheim for the 2024 @NASPAtweets x @FirstgenCenter First Generation Student Success Conference! Glad to have an opportunity to connect and learn from my peers in my leading/supporting efforts to create a stronger first-gen community at @elonuniversity! #SSHE24
First time attending NASPA’s conference on Student Success in Higher Education! As a proud first-generation myself, I’m so excited to discuss more about first-generation student career development and success 😊

In #highered literature there is an absence of the exploration of experiences of #online#firstgen students. I hope this piece helps to spark some dialogue. Thanks @FirstgenCenter and @SNHU for the support in sharing these efforts! #moretocome
There's a critical need for #highered to consider the unique needs of those who choose online learning to pursue degrees. Suggestions for connecting with #firstgen in online environments are offered by @jwinfield4 in this month's #AdvocateFirstgen blog at bit.ly/3yHRwHO.
