I currently work in this capacity with secondary students under TRiO Upward Bound, but my desire is to return to the post-secondary level to serve college students in TRiO Student Support Services.]]> 2018-08-22 19:12:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jjones122/4eio3d3p14mg/wish/274694877 Option 3- The Chronicle of Higher Education (Article 1) jjones122 https://padlet.com/jjones122/4eio3d3p14mg/wish/274695231 2018-08-22 19:13:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jjones122/4eio3d3p14mg/wish/274695231 Option 3- The Chronicle of Higher Education (Article 2) jjones122 https://padlet.com/jjones122/4eio3d3p14mg/wish/274709594 2018-08-22 20:36:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jjones122/4eio3d3p14mg/wish/274709594 Option 2- American Council on Education (ACE) jjones122 https://padlet.com/jjones122/4eio3d3p14mg/wish/274711157 Exploring this website presented me with a broader range of information across all levels of Education. ]]> 2018-08-22 20:45:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jjones122/4eio3d3p14mg/wish/274711157 Option 2- Association of American Universities (AAU) jjones122 https://padlet.com/jjones122/4eio3d3p14mg/wish/274711448 While exploring the AAU's website, I discovered legal and ethical topics facing American Universities today. A few topics trending among universities include campus safety, immigration, and federal policies that could potentially affect students entering college in the near future. ]]> 2018-08-22 20:48:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jjones122/4eio3d3p14mg/wish/274711448 Legal & Ethical Topic jjones122 https://padlet.com/jjones122/4eio3d3p14mg/wish/275292904 Higher Education Act (HEA)

This topic stood out and is important to me the most because it directly affects the student population I serve. Many first-generation college students come from socioeconomic backgrounds that can prevent them from accessing higher education. A primary concern of theirs is how to pay for college. TRiO programs like Upward Bound and Student Support Services are programs that assist students in seeking out resources that allievate barriers to education.]]> 2018-08-25 02:22:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jjones122/4eio3d3p14mg/wish/275292904 Internet Search of Topic (Article) jjones122 https://padlet.com/jjones122/4eio3d3p14mg/wish/275349650 Higher Education Act]]> 2018-08-26 03:43:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jjones122/4eio3d3p14mg/wish/275349650 Academic Resource on Topic jjones122 https://padlet.com/jjones122/4eio3d3p14mg/wish/275349731 Capt, R.

As mentioned in previous slides, I work with first-generation students mostly classified as low-income. These students are unable to purse education past a high school diploma without federal assistance and government funded programs like TRIO.

The intent of the Higher Education Act of 1965 was to provide college access to all (Capt,2013). While both Republican and Democratic parties work to find a reasonable solution, it is my hope they keep low-income, especially those classified as first-generation at the forefront of their minds. Potentially cutting federal student aid to address a growing student loan crisis can prohibit students, like those I serve, from having a decent quality of life. It is no secret that education is one way out of poverty. If we want future generations to qualify for jobs that require education past a high school diploma then we must work to keep higher education accessible to all.
