50% of students don't realize they're first-generation until they reach college, and often these students have the smallest support networks to help them navigate the intricate maze that comes with higher education. Mentor Collective's student engagement model was designed with first-generation students in mind as a mechanism to bring first-generation student voices to the highest levels of leadership and create learning environments where students feel supported by their peers, faculty, and institutions. In honor of #FirstGenerationStudentCelebration day, here are some of the impactful first-gen stories we've had the privilege of learning from our partners at Duke University, Georgia Institute of Technology, and Bucknell University. #CelebrateFirstGen #bethefirst 🎤 Supporting FGLI Students with Peer Mentorship with Dr. Sachelle Ford of Duke University Webinar - https://hubs.ly/Q028dw1x0 📣 Assessing & Addressing First Generation Student Challenges with Dr. Charmaine Troy, Ph.D. of Georgia Institute of Technology - https://hubs.ly/Q028dBjH0 🎓 Bucknell University Engages First-Generation Students & Sees Increases in Academic Performance with Dr. M.

Do you work with First Gen students (or know any in your social networks)? Check out my friend's new book. I have a copy and honestly it could be impactful for any student, especially the section where common higher ed terms are defined in simple, clear language.
Each year, it's exciting to witness the new school season unfold from the lens of an educational practitioner! As we prepare for the semester to begin, I'm also reminded of the challenges faced by college students. Whether they're meeting roommates for the first time, ensuring they have all the essentials for class, or navigating the transition to independence, these experiences can be both exciting and overwhelming. For first-gen students, these obstacles often come with added layers of complexity. By being the first in the family to navigate college, they may find it harder to acclimate and thrive in their new environment. As educators and practitioners, we can make this transition easier by proactively providing these students with information and support to help them succeed. The First-Gen Student Field Guide for College can complement your current efforts in supporting first-gen student success. https://lnkd.in/gnhhBYrw My hope is that all educators, student support professionals, and the entire community continue to rally around the next generation of learners as they blaze new paths toward a brighter future. Welcome Back to School! #HigherEd #FirstGen #FirstGenFieldGuide #StudentSuccess #BacktoSchool

We talk about humanizing the online learning environment and creating a connected learning experience constantly. This short video sums it all up. It’s all about people.
During my #Fulbright in 2022-23, David J Hornsby and his team at Carleton University's Teaching & Learning Services created this wonderful video about research I've done with Leo Lambert, Isis Artze-Vega, Oscar Miranda Tapia M.Ed., Alison Cook-Sather, Rachel Forsyth, and others. I think the video is fab, and I'm especially grateful to Hasi Eldib and team for making it! https://lnkd.in/eSSVSkUW

It takes some time to de-fuse from the academic identity. People with PhDs embrace their academic identity so much that we often refer to them as their qualifications: ‘PhDs do this, PhDs do that’. When I (Jonathan) exited academia I felt that I had to leave an important part of my identity behind. I was no longer Jonathan the cognitive scientist, I was no longer helping to construct the edifice of human knowledge, and I certainly was never going to win a Grawemeyer Award. I was now just some guy. Was I being a little dramatic? Of course. But de-fusing took some time. While having done a PhD is still part of identity, my previous academic identity now feels as distant as my goth phase. My academic identity was an important part of me developing into who I am today, and I don’t lament leaving it behind. I suppose the same is true of the goth phase. If you’re struggling with the loss of identity that can come from moving beyond academia, take heart. Identity evolves over time, and it won’t be long before any vacuum left by academia is filled with other things that bring you meaning. #phdcareers #altac #beyondacademia #phd #leavingacademia
