## Caption

First-generation college students face particular challenges as they make their way through the unfamiliar culture with its own language and expectations. Eleftheria Arapoglou was raised by working class parents in Greece. Her parents thought her higher education dreams were unrealistic but never discouraged her. She said her safety net was formed by the people who stood by her — professors and colleagues — who encouraged her along the way. #FirstGenUCDavis #FirstGen #GoAgs
