Today we celebrate First-Generation Day, including Fordham junior, Jasmine Pena Garcia! This year, 26.4% of the first-year class are first-generation college students. #CelebrateFirstGen 🎓🐏 -- Here is what Jasmine had to say: “Being a first-generation student at Fordham University means pushing through every fear, doubt, and obstacle for my family--for the sacrifices they’ve made, the dreams they’ve put on hold, and the barriers they were never able to overcome. I carry their hope with me and forge a path not just for myself, but for future generations to come. Every step I’ve taken on campus has been such a privilege. Gracias, mami, por la educación. Te amo!” -- #Fordham #University #NYC #FirstGeneration #StudentLife
