Millennium Fellowship Project: Proud to be First
The "Proud to be First" project is dedicated to creating a robust resource hub for first-generation students at Georgia Tech. Our aim is to offer a comprehensive platform that encompasses academic support, mentorship programs, scholarship information, and personal success stories tailored specifically to the needs of first-gen students. Through this initiative, we seek to foster a sense of community, provide essential resources, and inspire future generations of first-gen students to achieve their academic and professional goals. Ultimately, our goal is to empower and support first-generation students in navigating and succeeding in their higher education journey.
About the Millennium Fellow
Soomin Lee is a senior biomedical engineering student at Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, GA, USA. Soomin is passionate about first generation education. As a first-generation student born in Seoul and raised in Guam, she experienced many difficulties with a foreign background when she moved to the US for college. She found great support from her mentors and friends at Georgia Tech, making her realize the importance of having someone to turn to. She now strives to provide a supportive environment for first-generation or international students like her. Through her project, she hopes to help the region become a forerunner in sustainable education. After she graduates, Soomin plans to attend medical school and continue her protein engineering research.
