College of Education-produced documentary to air on PBS stations
“A Walk In My Shoes: First-Generation Students” has received so much attention that it will be aired on all three Kansas PBS stations at 8 p.m. this Friday, according to a K-State news release. The film, produced by the College of Education working with K-State’s First Scholars Program, was created to bring more focus to students who are the first in their families to attend college.
“The reason we started the ‘A Walk in My Shoes’ video series was to call attention to people around us — people that we may or may not have the opportunity to interact with,” Debbie Mercer, dean of the College of Education, said. “The goal is for us to see how much we have in common with each other and to grow.”
The film follows the lives of several current students and three alumni who each share their personal stories about their journey to college.
Around 40 percent of K-State’s undergraduate students are first-generation college students, twice the national average.

Carlin introduced her bill on Tuesday and Clayton introduced hers on Wednesday, although both said they were not aware of the other working on the same issue.
State privacy laws already make it a crime to post pictures or videos of another person that were taken without their permission.
