For Denise Salas, a junior at the University of New Mexico, performing with fellow mariachis at the state鈥檚 flagship university for an event commemorating students who are the first in their families to go to college was special.

鈥淚t鈥檚 honestly very special for me, especially because I am a first-gen student,鈥� she said, adding she was raised in the city鈥檚 South Valley by immigrant parents.

鈥淭hey were very excited, from the start,鈥� Salas said. 鈥淭hey were very happy to know that I was actually going to go get a college degree, which is something that they fought for when they came to this country.鈥�

On Friday, in the student union building, the university honored its first-generation students during the 鈥渨eeklong First-Generation Celebration.鈥�

More than a dozen students and faculty members attended the event on Friday, including outgoing UNM President Garnett Stokes, who was also a first-generation student.

鈥淵ou may know that first-gen students make up nearly half of our Lobo student population. That鈥檚 remarkable,鈥� she said. 鈥淐elebrations like this one, this afternoon, are just one opportunity ... for our first-gen students to actually celebrate with each other and support each other together.鈥�

One of those students was Miriam Barbra, raised in San Antonio, Texas鈥� Eastside Dignowity Hill neighborhood. She hopes that the dual degrees she鈥檚 pursuing in Chicano Studies and political science will propel her to graduate school, where she plans to pursue a master鈥檚 degree in social work.

鈥淚 think having support systems like my mom, like my parents 鈥� I want to give back to the community who raised me,鈥� she said. 鈥淪o being able to be like, 鈥極K, I鈥檓 going to go get my degree in this, and therefore I鈥檓 going to go back home to help my community.鈥欌��

Barbra is a third-generation Mexican-American; her mother has an associate鈥檚 degree and works as a nurse for the San Antonio Independent School District, and her father works in a warehouse for Texas grocer H-E-B.

鈥淚鈥檓 really grateful to be at UNM, I think that鈥檚 one of the biggest things; being in a community,鈥� Barbra said. 鈥淏eing in a university that supports students like this, supports ethnic studies in general, I feel really connected.鈥�
