Sociology student featured in first-gen panel

Alejandra Guerrero, senior, was recently featured in CSULB First-Gen Voices. The virtual panel featured three first-generation students who are overcoming “imposter syndrome” on campus. Here’s an excerpt: 

“Even now, there are time I find myself having to convince family my sociology and International Studies degrees are going to lead me to a stable career path. They expect my major to directly lead to an occupation, but getting a higher education, in my eyes, is more about making yourself a well- rounded individual and gaining connections. I believe because they see me working hard and taking different internship opportunities while being a student, they have an easier time understanding how my education is leading me down a path to success.”
