You are an Inspiration

The We Are First Network, formerly known as the I Relate Network, is simply a directory of SJSU staff and faculty that were first-generation college students. 

 

Why join?

Being a first-generation college student graduate is an accomplishment. We would like to acknowledge those accomplishments, while inspiring our students.  Your story could encourage first-generation students that are facing similar obstacles as you did during your college experience.  

 

When you join:

Your name, department, major, and a link to your faculty/staff webpage will be added to the directory of faculty and staff that have identified as being first-generation college students.

When you sign up to be part of the Network, you will have the opportunity to participate in additional ways such as:

• Signing up for our newsletter
• Informing your students of upcoming events/programs/workshops
• Support/attend GENERATE events
• Joining the GENERATE Advisory Committee
• Donating to the First-Generation Scholarship Fund

Each form of participation is completely optional. The only requirement of We Are First Network members is to add their name to the directory.
