Honored and humbled for the invite to share the keynote address at the annual First Generation Dinner, sponsored by Tech Opportunities Program (TRIO) and Student Involvement & Belonging at ˿����Ƶ Tech. I shared my First Gen story & provided advice to First Gen college students.. revealed some ‘aged’ photos and stories from my childhood— acknowledging my upbringing in Gary, Indiana and the positive impact from the Arce Familia. Beautiful event to share in community with these First Gen students and supporters of First Gen. #PowerOfFirst ☝🏽 #NationalFirstGenCelebration 💚💙 . . . . . #motivation #inspiration #deepinthought #memories #oregon #oregontech #oregoninstituteoftechnology #highereducation #highered #studentlife #studentaffairs #studentsuccess #firstgen #firstgenerationcollegestudent #celebratefirstgen #instagay #instaqueer
