First Gen
Ever felt like your college journey was happening on "island mode"? For first-gen students, stepping into the world can feel overwhelming: but international experiences are real game-changers. They help you build confidence, expand your perspective, and connect with mentors who understand your ambition.
Not every global opportunity means buying a plane ticket. Try these practical steps:
- Join virtual exchange programs (many are free or low-cost!)
- Attend campus events hosted by international student groups: ask questions and learn
- Network online with students and professionals worldwide via LinkedIn or campus platforms
- Engage with faculty who’ve lived or worked abroad and ask about global projects
You’re not just building a resume: you’re opening doors. Start local, think global, and make international connections that fuel your success. The world is closer than you think!
