I was a first-generation student myself but didn&#8217;t know what that meant or that it applied to me during my undergraduate experience! I absolutely would have benefitted from having a resource like the Newbury Center at my disposal and professionals around me who understood what my needs were even if I didn&#8217;t. I want any member of the BU community to feel comfortable coming to me and using me as a resource, mentor, or just someone who can relate in some way to the challenges and triumphs that come with the first-generation experience!<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>First-Generation College Graduate<\/li>\n<li>Gender Identity and Pronouns: <span>Female | she\/her\/hers<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Race, Ethnicity, and\/or Nationality: <span>South Korean<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Home: <span>Glens Falls, NY<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Languages Spoken: English<\/li>\n<li>Business\/Industry of Interest: Social Sciences<\/li>\n<li>Personal Facts\/ Hobbies\/ Interests: <span>I am originally from a small town in upstate New York but I have lived in Boston since 2007!
