Get ready for an exhilarating journey as we welcome D'ric Jackson, a first-generation college student turned advocate, who is reshaping the narrative around higher education. With a background inspired by the '90s Spider-Man series and a dedication to psychology, Derek's unique lens turns an often daunting experience into a thrilling adventure, a superpower even. He's not only been there but has also forged a path to empower others like him, and if there's anyone who can understand the leap of faith first-generation students take, it's him.
You may wonder, what does Spider-Man have to do with higher education? Well, Derek expertly draws parallels between the journey of Miles from the movie Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and that of first-generation students. Both have no blueprint to follow, yet they take on enormous challenges, embodying audacity and resilience. Just as Miles grows into his role as Spider-Man, first-generation students too, can transform their unique experiences into a positive identity and culture.
As we wrap up our chat, Derek delves into the crucial role authenticity, mentors, and supervisors play in a first-generation student's journey. But it's not all about grand gestures; small moments of compassion and guidance can make a world of difference. Buckle up and prepare for a deep-dive into the world of first-generation students, blending higher education and pop culture in a way that you've never experienced before!
D'ric's bio:
My name is D’ric (Derick) Jackson, and I serve as an Assistant Director of Undergraduate Programs in the Office of Undergraduate Education at UT Dallas. Specifically, I oversee First-Generation Student Programs: A student success program for students who will be first in their families to earn their bachelor’s degree in the United States that I helped launch in 2019. I also serve as a class instructor for the First-Generation Student Success Course offered to the First-Generation Living Learning Community. I am a first-generation college graduate from UT Dallas, earning both my bachelor's degree and master’s degree from UT Dallas. I am currently working on a Ph.D. in Higher Education at the University of North Texas. I consider it an honor to pay it forward to my fellow First-Generation students. A fan of Spider-Man since I was five years old, I firmly believe that “With great power comes great responsibility”!
