Share Your First-Gen Story!

[Shatawndra Lister]

As part of First-Generation College Student Celebration Week, Access &
Opportunity Programs and Admissions are inviting first-generation faculty
and staff to share what being first-gen means to them.

If you are the first in your family to attend college, meaning neither of
your parents earned a four-year college degree, we’d love to hear your
story!

There are three ways to participate:

*1. Record a video with us <https://forms.gle/GKyD2r9Vh2r4tjAw9>*
Stop by the Nina Winkel Sculpture Court in Myers on Wednesday, 10/14, or
Friday, 10/16, from 11:00 AM-12:00 PM. We’ll ask you a few questions and
record a short video about your first-gen experience. Questions? Contact
Erika Winters (ewint002 at plattsburgh.edu).

*2. Submit your own video <https://forms.gle/GKyD2r9Vh2r4tjAw9>*
Record a short video sharing what being first-gen means to you and upload
it through this form.

*3. Submit a written response for a poster
<https://forms.gle/GKyD2r9Vh2r4tjAw9>*
Answer a few questions about what being first-gen means to you and submit a
photo of yourself. We’ll create a First-Gen poster featuring your response
and photo.

Please submit your video or written response by October 21, 2026, to ensure
we have time to share it during First-Generation College Student
Celebration Week!
For questions, please contact Erica Winters ewint002 at plattsburgh.edu.
