TGIF +FGF! This weeks featured first-gen student is Padma Lakshmi! She is an Emmy-nominated food expert, television host, producer and The New York Times best-selling author.

She is also the creator, host, and executive producer of the critically acclaimed Hulu series Taste the Nation, nominated for a 2021 Gotham Award for Breakthrough Series.

Happy First-Gen Friday everyone! Shout out to the all the refugee first-gen students out there 🙏 y’all are amazing 🙌

Happy First-Gen Friday to the legendary Samuel L. Jackson. Like many college students, Jackson explored different majors before finding his passion for acting. He was also an activist on campus. He fought for black voices to be heard and included in the curriculum at Morehouse College. His actions remind us that we should always strive to do what’s right no matter consequences.

Happy FGF (first-gen Friday)! Hope you are all having an awesome and productive week. Today we’re shining the spotlight on Anousheh Ansari. She is the co founder of Telecom Technologies Inc. She received her Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering and computer science at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia, and her master's degree at George Washington University in Washington D.C. She is also the first woman to participate in private travel space! She says to people who may feel they cannot achieve their goals: “I believe they can realize their dreams if they keep it in their hearts, nurture it, and look for opportunities and make those opportunities happen." 💙

Happy Friday! Today we are honoring Supreme Court Justice, Sonia Sotomayor!
Sonia Sotomayor became a U.S. District Court Judge in 1992 and was elevated to the U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals in 1998. In 2009, she was confirmed as the first Latina Supreme Court justice in U.S. history.

Hi all! We’re introducing a new series called First-Gen Friday! We’ll be showcasing first-generation college student success stories weekly! Michelle Obama is a lawyer, writer and the wife of former U.S. President Barack Obama. Prior to her role as first lady, she was a lawyer, Chicago city administrator and community-outreach worker.

This week SDSU is celebrating First Gen Student Week 🥳

Come celebrate what it means to be a proud first-generation college student!
