“This summer I interned abroad at an NGO, Hong Kong-America Center, in Hong Kong as a recipient of the 2019 Cultural Vistas Fellowship. At this internship placement, I worked within the realms of digital communications, social media, and public relations as my work was tailored to primarily focus on revamping and redesigning the Center’s website and social media platforms. By curating sets of images to generate and document the Center’s programs/events through photography and videography, this work offered me the opportunity to actively engage with and learn more about the best ways to utilize multimedia platforms to showcase information in visually capturing, innovative ways that create and maintain ongoing relationships with local and transnational communities.” – Sarah Rodriguez⁠⠀

Ricardo Martinez from UC Davis shares his study abroad experience as a first-gen college student. Ricardo studied abroad in Rio de Janeiro at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro. "We have to take advantage of being in another country, not as wealthy or non-first-generation students, but as FIRST-TIME LEARNERS willing to accept challenges as well as mistakes. In other words, EMBRACE your first-generation self in a pool of peers who many have a lot more experience and financial support."
