Navigating Undergrad & Grad School as First-Gen at a PWI

CCCC Season 1 Episode 3: In Conversation with Shaquanna Raynor.

Shaquanna graduated in 2018 from Fairfield University and is currently a graduate resident coordinator and completing her MPA, which is a Master's in Public Administration. She is getting all those degrees and getting all the things to take on the world. She is someone who's so special in my experiences as a young professional, because she would always cheer me up when I was working at Fairfield. She was also psych major. So we instantly connected about that, and how to navigate life as an underrepresented minority on campus. Don't forget Fairfield is a PWI (Predominantly Whyte Institution) my friends. We e want to bring it to this platform for you and students to feel represented in her story and my story and together hopefully you get some nuggets of wisdom. 

In this episode we dive deep into:

🦋 Imposter Syndrome and how to identify what it looks like and how to navigate when it shows up

🦋 Grades, GPA, & Graduate School

🦋 Our time together in Project Excel at Fairfield University
