_insertContent=6BCD9A70-DAF5-11E9-A6BB0242AC100002,displayTeaserInlinePromoExpanded_

Navigating higher education as a first-generation college students can be challenging. Becoming faculty and identifying as first-gen adds a contextual layer to the higher education journey that must be discussed and explored!

Presenters will share testimonials and personal narratives about how their intersecting identities, personal backgrounds, and life experiences inform their pedagogy and research practices. They will also share how identifying as first-gen continues to influence their academic identities. As such, the live briefing will focus on the lived experiences of navigating the professoriate to underscore the ways in which academic borderlands have impacted their lives, and especially how they have confronted, challenged, and even crossed these borders. The aim here is to highlight their agency, strengths, ingenuity, rather than to focus on any types of assumed deficiencies.

For more than 25 years, the University of South Florida’s Muma College of Business Corporate Mentor Program (CMP) has helped first-generation students transition into rewarding careers by pairing them with mentors in the Tampa Bay area. Through monthly meetings, students and mid-to-senior-level executives have the opportunity to create meaningful connections. Additionally, students may shadow the executive for a day; mentors may extend invitations to tag along at chamber functions, networking events, or trade association meetings. Corporate culture, skill-sets, and career paths are common topics of conversation; over time, friendships may develop so personal guidance may even be offered.

During this webinar participants will gain insight into the mission, vision and structure of the Corporate Mentor Program at the University of South Florida and examine strategies for implementing an impactful mentoring program on your campus.
