“The common thread among speakers and students at the dinner was how belief and connection are pivotal to student success, especially for first-generation students. Feelings of doubt, insecurity, isolation and imposter syndrome often accompany navigating unfamiliar territory—especially when you feel that everyone else 'gets it' or has found their niche,” said Angel Hernandez, associate director of the Educational Opportunity Fund-Atlantic City. “It’s important for all students to know that they are not alone, that they belong and that others believe in them. These ingredients and connections fuel their belief in themselves, which helps students persist and flourish as they continue navigating unchartered territory.”
