Rashné Jehangir, associate professor in the department of Postsecondary Teaching and Learning, and Veronica Deenanath, graduate student in Family Social Science, developed a cross-university collaboration between the TRIO Student Support Services Program and their students and the College of Education Human Development’s iPad initiative with support from an Institutional Change Grant from the Women’s Center. The outcome was a photo narrative research project focused on the rich and multiple identities of students who are first in their family to go to college.

Drawing on a photo narrative methodology, the project invited students to take photographs of their lived experiences within the curricular structure of the TRIO course titled: Introduction to TRiO: Identity, Culture, and College Success. Several student photographs along with their artist statements will be on display at an upcoming art exhibit in Appleby Hall.

Please join us for the opening reception.
