- [00:00:04.540]I think the main thing for faculty
- [00:00:06.470]is that they don't realize that first gen students
- [00:00:09.340]aren't the type to reach out to them,
- [00:00:11.580]so definitely, I think the number one thing
- [00:00:13.060]is to connect students with faculty
- [00:00:15.380]in whatever ways that we can.
- [00:00:16.953]Just in general, knowing resources,
- [00:00:19.810]like where do I go for help?
- [00:00:21.990]Or, who do I ask questions to,
- [00:00:25.540]cause I know some teachers that, you know,
- [00:00:28.360]they tell you you can come into my office hours,
- [00:00:31.250]I didn't quite know what office hours were
- [00:00:33.490]until I had seminar classes
- [00:00:35.620]that I went through,
- [00:00:37.125]I remember at beginning of camp,
- [00:00:39.300]my Freshman year.
- [00:00:41.300]So I would say, if we didn't have those seminar classes,
- [00:00:45.840]or if I didn't have them, in general,
- [00:00:48.370]I'd say I'd probably be a lost college student.
- [00:00:53.740]Well we have some workshops and events now,
- [00:00:56.560]but I feel like if we continue to do that,
- [00:00:58.640]maybe not every week, but every other week
- [00:01:02.200]to have workshops, and being able to connect
- [00:01:04.610]with other first generation students and teachers,
- [00:01:07.470]would be helpful.
- [00:01:08.590]Just having a diversity 101 class
- [00:01:12.620]for students to be open minded.
- [00:01:14.220]And especially for students on campus
- [00:01:16.080]to also learn the different cultural
- [00:01:18.950]and diversity awareness,
- [00:01:21.990]and not just embracing it, but also just being aware of it.
