My friends and I attended the first-gen day since we are all first-gen. I felt seen to be celebrated like this and be able to celebrate it with people who are in the same situation as me. I was able to learn more about TRiO and how they support first gen, low income students!
Even though I am posting this about a month later, what we learned has still stuck with me because I didn't know the difference between all three associates' degrees. When I was looking at the different programs, I saw the different lettering and I wondered what it was.
This givepulse training really enlightened the way to use this website. I learned the format on submitting events outside of the scholarship eg: STRIVE events, and it will help me in the future to correctly format my hours.
I loved listening about the clubs PGCC has to offer. If I had the time during the week, I would've joined one since the communities here seem so welcoming.
This event was so fun! I loved meeting all the people who are new to pgcc and getting to know what they are majoring in! (im the one in the middle with bangs and glasses)
Orientation was good, it was nice to see there are many resources available to us that will help us navigate the scholarship.
