Finding your “first” - from a first-generation college student | Nicole Craig | TEDxBryantU

Nicole hopes to leave the audience with a stronger understanding of first-generation college students and encourage individuals to harness the power of being first in an increasingly innovative world .
Nicole Craig is a senior international business major at Bryant University with concentrations in global supply chain management and Spanish. Her identity as a first-generation college student led to the foundation of Rhode Island’s first chapter of Alpha Alpha Alpha (Tri-Alpha): A National Honor Society for First-Generation College Students on Bryant University’s campus. She aims to spread awareness for this student population and inspire others to find their “first.” This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
