Meet six first-generation college students at Boston University and hear their stories. They were among 553 students, faculty, and staff inducted April 26 as the inaugural members of BU’s Alpha Alpha Alpha honor society for first-gen students.
They didn’t grow up assuming they would go to college. They didn’t have private SAT tutors or coaches to guide them through the application process or parents who could share their own college experiences with them. They had to figure things out on their own, as the first in their family to attend a four-year college in the United States.

BLUE RIVER, Ore. McKenzie High School students are helping out their neighbors and getting a lesson in construction at the same time.
Students, educators and construction companies are coming together throughout the month to build sheds for victims of the Holiday Farm Fire.
“Sheds are the first things that need to go up after the property is ready to go. The sheds are a place for people to put their tools and to lock up their stuff as they rebuild their homes,” said Lee Kounovsky, who teaches construction-related courses at several area schools.
