"Sometimes we are lucky enough to know that our lives have been changed, to discard the old, embrace the new, and run headlong down an immutable course.

It happened to me ... on that summer's day, when my eyes were opened to the sea."

- Jacques Yves Cousteau

Pathways to Success for First-Generation College Goers Survey

John Korsmo, PhD and Associate Professor at Western Washington University is moving forward on research associated with first-generation college students and is in need of help getting his survey out to as many potential 1st-gen students as possible.

Would you be able to send this out to groups of students in any way, or do you have a name of someone he could check with to do so elsewhere? (He is happy to write a brief paragraph that could be used in the body of an email to introduce the survey.

Here is the link for the survey.

The data is very interesting and informative, and will be incorporated into a book he is working on, related to working with youth and families in poverty...
