Episode 09 I First Generation Celebration I Interview w/ Krickett & Brady

In this first of five-episode series, we are highlighting the experiences of our first-generation students here at UNLV.  Being a first generation college student can be quite intimidating as it breaches unfamiliar territory. Krickett and Brady are both UNLV students walking down this path with the goal of turning the tide in their respective families, and it has been a stressful journey walking on this unpaved road. For many people, education is one of their biggest regrets, and Krickett and Brady aspire to finish their academia and establish financial stability with their degrees. In this podcast, they talk about the stress and frustration that comes with figuring out the mechanics of college, financial aid, college resources, and adjusting to remote learning and employment with the pandemic in addition to finding these resources on their own, with the added pressure of being role models for their families. Being a UNLV Groundbreaker takes shape in different ways, leading everyone towards a different journey. We personally believe Kricekett and Brady are doing groundbreaking things in our community while being groundbreakers in their own families. SHOW NOTES Hello Everyone!
