"If I could share one thing with all first-generation students, it would be this: Know in your heart that you being on campus is not an accident or just a stroke of luck. You are part of a powerful legacy of learners. Your questions aren't signs that you don't belong — they're proof of your courage to grow. You bring perspectives that add irreplaceable depth to our academic community." - uwtacoma Chancellor Sheila Edwards Lange, Ph.D., first-generation college graduate. #CelebrateFirstGen
