dije Community Check-Ins provide spaces to share experiences, build connections, and communicate support needed from the dije team and Marsal Community, centering specific community experiences. The dije team will provide community guidelines and a basic structure to facilitate a conversation. With that said, we hope that all of you attending will truly guide the conversation based on what comes front of mind to you!
For this event, we will center on first-generation college student experiences. First-generation college students are those whose parent(s) have not completed a four-year college or university degree, regardless of other family members' level of education. This can have implications for the support needed for first-generation students as they navigate college settings. In contrast, those whose parents completed a four-year degree may benefit from the knowledge and practical lessons learned by their parents as they navigated institutional spaces. Faculty and Staff who can provide insights from their own experiences are encouraged to come!
This event is open to all Marsal Community members, including students (enrolled in an Education program OR taking at least one Education class), staff, faculty, and student-employees.
