Today I am coming to you live from the First-Generation Celebration at our Indianapolis Campus.

National First-Generation College Celebration is recognized at colleges across the country during the week of November 8. Join Ivy Tech on many campuses in recognizing the achievements of our First-Generation College students and increase your awareness of how we can best support their needs.

We will be hearing from students, staff, and faculty who are celebrating First-Generation students on the Indianapolis campus - for the third annual week of celebrations. It is our hope that through increased awareness and a greater focus on the resiliency and value First-Generation students bring to the college, we can continue to advocate for change that helps not only support the needs of First-Generation students but for all students at Ivy Tech. 

Today I am joined by Josh VanBibber, Director of TRIO Student Support Services and one of the many responsible for today’s event. Josh, let’s get some students, staff, and faculty to join in on today’s podcast fun!
