Celebrating first-gen students, faculty and staff
It has been many years since I was the first in my family go to college and earn my bachelor’s degree. And to this day, I am still awed by the transformative power of a college degree to change lives. In fact, my college acceptance letter hangs on the wall above my desk as a reminder of this. Higher education opened doors to a career I never knew existed and set me on a path I couldn’t have imagined.
Give your input on AI, take the UW-wide survey
Because artificial intelligence has the potential to transform how we work, teach, learn and conduct research, each one of our voices is important to shape the University’s vision and strategy for AI.
Our connections and collaborations set an example for students
I am a first-generation college graduate, and I was deluged with questions from family members about things that they had read. I am grateful that I could be a trusted resource for them. I also understood that they did not feel comfortable talking with other people because differences in perspective were not seen as opportunities to promote learning but rather as an insurmountable division.
