campus food insecurity is so
normalized as part of the college
experience. living off ramen?
going to bed hungry? eating one
meal a day? these are all signs of
food insecurity and should not be
taken lightly

“What is your favorite
Halloween costume you’ve
dressed up in?”
“This year I was
Judge Trudy and
my friend was the
dancing lobster
from the Amanda
Show. It was
nostalgic and it
was pretty funny.”

did a service learning program
in Ishinomaki, Japan, and
said the Center for Global and
Intercultural
Study
makes
finding a program a smooth
process.
“It’s actually pretty easy,”
she said. “I mean, it’s not
easy choosing because
there are so many different
programs, but the process is
pretty smooth especially if
you do it through CGIS.”
LSA junior Alasia Tardy
said
she
studied
abroad
in Palestine and Israel in
the summer following her
freshman year, where she
studied
conflict-resolution
and coexistence. She said
going
abroad
as
a
first-
generation
student
was
exhilarating.
“The process was exciting.
I’m first-gen, so I felt like I
had to go abroad,” she said.
“No part of it was boring.
From start to end, coming
back home and all, it was
amazing.”
Branching out into how
being
a
first-generation
student impacted her studying
abroad
experience,
Social
Work student Mallory
Sprague said she had to
argue with her family
members who initially
thought studying abroad
was not a good idea.
“I always knew I that
wanted to go abroad,”
she said. “I was told by
my family that it made
no sense and that I
shouldn’t. Not only am
I first-gen, but I’m the
only person in my family
who has a passport. In
doing it, I kind of really
had to do some soul-
searching
and
write
some good arguments.”
Sprague
has
since
participated
in
five
study abroad programs
and traveled to Ecuador,
Italy, England, Russia,
Amsterdam and Berlin.
Financial aid is a very
important
factor
for
first-generation students
in studying abroad, as
panelists
discussed
how proper budgeting
is a common concern
students
have
before
leaving. Tardy said handling
financial aid put her mind at
ease, as the process was clear
and smooth.
“I think it was the easiest
part for me,” she said. “They
follow
you
step-by-step.
You’re
never
questioning
what’s going on, they’re so
open and available to you.
There are so many options
with financial aid. As soon
as I talked to Financial Aid I
never worried again. ”
Some tips and advice the
panelists gave to fellow first-
generation students included
going into itwith an open
mindset, reaching out early
and remembering there is
a lot of time to have fun in
the
countries,
too.
Tardy
reflected on her time abroad,
saying there was plenty of
time for adventure and new
opportunities.
“We
swam
in
the
Mediterranean
Sea,
we
floated in the Dead Sea, we
went to so many places and
yes, we were learning a lot,
but there was so much time
for fun as well,” she said.
Communications
Studies
doctoral
candidate
Jana
Wilbricht
echoed
the
sentiment of taking the time
to immerse oneself in the
local culture.
“Don’t be afraid,” she said.
“Immerse yourself as much
as you can in different ways,
like if there’s a local festival
happening, just go. That’s
really how you make a lot of
authentic experiences.”
