First Generation Students On February 2nd, 2009, I attended a seminar given by Stephen Jenkins, PhD, LP about “ Finging Success for First generation Students.” The name is almost self explanatory. First generation students are students whose parents did not attend college, parents who have a high school diploma or less. Although I am not a first generation student, it was really interesting learning all about the pro’s and con’s of being a first generation student. Approximately 30% of students in public 4 year colleges, like SCSU, are first generation students. Seventy five percent of these students are white female.

Whereas education during Jefferson’s era was, voluntary and he believed in teaching everyone the basics. Additionally, Jefferson believed that students in the elementary schools should read enough history “by appraising them of the past, will enable them to judge the future; it will avail them of the experience of other times and other nations; it will qualify them as judges of the actions and designs of men…”(S&S pg. 40). Whereas in today’s practice, elementary students receive about forty-five minutes of history a month until they enter 5th or 6th grade.

BALTIMORE - Here's what white privilege sounds like: I'm sitting in my University of Texas office, talking to a very bright and very conservative white student about affirmative action in college admissions, which he opposes and I support. The student says he wants a level playing field with no unearned advantages for anyone. I ask him whether he thinks that being white has advantages in the United States. Have either of us, I ask, ever benefited from being white in a world run mostly by white people? Yes, he concedes, there is something real and tangible we could call white privilege.
The Minnesota adoption studies, conducted by Sandra Scarr and Richard Weinberg, in 1974, actually comprised two studies. The first study was called the Transracial Adoption(TA) study. The subjects were black and interracial children raised by families that were white, particularly in the schools and culture, and it was performed to test the hypothesis that these children would score on achievement measured tests and IQ tests, as well as any other adopted child. There were 101 adoptive families with interracial makeup, who adopted 176 children, 130 of these adoptees were black. All of the adoptive parents and children adopted were unrelated.
Jahn Derousseau Bridge 115: Sharpe Seminar Essay 2 3/12/12 The role of ethnicity in today’s society is such a drastic change from 40 years ago. I remember my mom telling me stories about her in middle school; she was one of the first white kids to go to an all black school. Back then everything was separated, so a few kids from her school were selected to switch schools because of the recent laws that were passed to initiate the beiging of public schools. My mom went through a lot as a kid, but also made history and helped allow me to go to such a diverse school. Today we can see how everything is changing; white is no longer the dominant race.
