Stephanie Bobbitt, Ph.D., LPC, and Nicole Pulliam, Ph.D., professors in the Educational Counseling Department in the School of Education, recently presented their work with the First, Too: First Generation Faculty Initiative at the 2024 NASPA First-Generation Student Success Conference<\/a> in Anaheim, California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In their presentation, “First Too: An Exploration of First Generation Faculty Experience from the Field,”<\/a> Bobbitt and Pulliam showcased the First Too: First Generation Faculty Initiative<\/a> which is an endeavor aimed at amplifying the presence of faculty and academic leaders who, much like students, paved the way as first-generation college attendees. The presentation highlighted the voices and experiences of current Monmouth University professors who are first generation faculty and their reflections and experiences with this identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NASPA First-Generation Student Success Conference examines a breadth of topics critical to advancing the holistic outcomes of first-generation students. Sessions consider the vast intersectionality of first-generation students, the systemic and institutional barriers to success, and evidence-based practices to student support and services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monmouth\u2019s First-Generation Faculty Initiative<\/a> is rooted in innovation, and guided by a singular mission\u2014to foster a profound sense of inclusion, ultimately bolstering the retention and success rates of first-generation scholars. This initiative comprises a network of educators who share a common bond as first-generation college students themselves. Actively involved within the University community, these faculty members proudly embrace and champion their first-generation identities. Serving as advocates, they dedicate themselves to elevating the first-generation community at Monmouth University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The First, Too Initiative was made possible in part due to funding from the Diversity Innovation Grant Program<\/a> coordinated by the Office of the Provost and Intercultural Center at Monmouth University. The First Too Initiative has been approved as an annually funded project for the next three years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
