Dr. Jackie Thomas-Miller, Host of the FirstGenMe Podcast
As a first generation college graduate, Dr. Jackie has lived the experiences and hope that the inspiring stories of others will provide assurance in knowing “where there’s a will, there’s a way.” It is her hope that the College of Education’s First Gen Me Podcasts will provide First Generation College Students at Purdue with the confidence and skillset needed to navigate the high and lows of being the first in their family to obtain a 4-year college degree.
