“Being a first-generation college student is hard because you can’t always look to your family for guidance. However, the people I met at OU were the most supportive and encouraging family I could've asked for. They were there for me whenever I needed assistance, and this family mentality at OU is what helped me throughout the years."
Raneen Allos, Exercise Science, Class of 2020
“My advice for first-generation students is to trust yourself. It’s gonna be hard — you're gonna be challenged academically, mentally and emotionally. 相信并知道你配得上这里. 你工作很努力, and you’ll work even harder because you are determined and prepared to succeed and reach your goals — you will shatter any doubts.”
Dana Cogshell, Human Resource Development, Class of 2021
"Being a first-generation student is not only a privilege but a responsibility. I get to celebrate my family's history on campus, while using my platform to be there for future first-generation students."
