About This Podcast

Through nuanced interviews with current students and recent alumni, we will discuss the highs and lows of being the first in their families to attend college, enter new socio-economic spaces, and navigate career choices. Through honest storytelling, we hope more first-generation/lower-income college students feel less alone in their journeys through college and beyond. DukeLIFE Pod is hosted and produced by Victoria Pinedo, Nowicki Fellow in the Office of Undergraduate Education, T ‘22.
