Abstract	Shonda L. Goward argues that conflating first-generation and low-income status elides the specific and significant barriers poor students experience. They may share the experience of not being familiar with the university system, but the challenges of food insecurity, jobs, and family responsibilities, along with a lack of a safety net, make it much harder for them to succeed in college and get the promised "good job" after. Goward challenges us to acknowledge the experiences of poor students while celebrating their working-class identities as welcome elements of diversity and strength to our campuses. (As Provided).
