Being first comes with challenges, but no one has to figure it all out alone.
For Kent State’s first-generation students, finding the right resources, mentors and community can make all the difference.
Hear from several Golden Flashes about what being first means to them and how they’ve found a home here at Kent.
It’s I Am First Week! 💙⚡️ Check out the link in our bio for this week’s events.

Meet Josie Vano. Josie is majoring in Integrative Studies with Disability Studies and minoring in Community Inclusion. Josie is also a first-generation student.
"One of the biggest issues I've had is not really knowing how everything works when I need something. I can't go to anyone in my family to get advice about navigating the complexities of university life, internships, course selections, etc. My advice for first-generation students is you can do this! It's going to feel overwhelming sometimes, especially if you feel like there's no one you can go to for advice in your family. But you can find those people at school: professors, advisors, staff, graduate assistants, even upperclassmen are willing to help you move through this experience. They can understand your struggles and worries better than you might imagine, and they can be a great source of support. They want to see you succeed, and they'll do what they can to get you there," -Josie.
There are so many students at Kent State University that share a similar story to Josie. I AM FIRST Week celebrates these students and their stories.
