In the premiere Episode I, along with my guests, Jeremiah Teems-Robinson (B.S. Business Administration, Marshall School of Business & Master of Studies in Law, Gould School of Law), Rachel Chen (B.S. Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Studies, Keck School Of Medicine & Master of Public Administration, Price School of Public Policy), and Maria Manjarrez (B.A. Political Science, Dornsife School of Letters, Arts, and Sciences &  B.S. Public Policy, Price School of Public Policy), speak on our experiences being First-Gen at USC along with their specific expertise with Norman Topping and the importance of Scholarships & Safe Spaces for First-Gen youth. This episode is the longest in the series because of the meaningful conversations and the breakdown of the First-Gen identity that is then built upon through the subsequent episodes.
