VIDEO BY KAITLIN BROTHERS / MULTIMEDIA EDITOR (WARRENSBURG, Mo.)– I’m First to Finish is a new campus organization designed to assist first-generation college students by helping find recourses, financial questions, mentorship and more.
On Thursday, Feb. 8 there was a first-generation panel with professors and one student, Jasmyne Everett, to talk about their hardships as first-generation students, and to promote the new organization.
I’m First to Finish had their first meeting Feb. 9 and discussed plans for the semester while getting to know each other and tell their stories about being first-generation. Courtney Long, a sophomore accounting major is the group’s president, and said since half the student population is first-generation, the group is important and will help them graduate.
