Student Voices aka Primary Sources

First-generation students come to higher education from diverse backgrounds and have equally varied experiences once on a university campus. The project Student Voices, led by two Chico State librarians in collaboration with colleagues from the University of Northern Colorado, provides students an opportunity to tell their stories. In turn, faculty and students work together to archive meaningful histories and create primary sources for others to learn from. Take a listen and learn more about the project as well as a couple of Chico State librarians.
