UBC First Generation Students Union (FGSU) presents The Torchbearers, a podcast that highlights the narratives of first-generation university students and faculty members at UBC. In each episode, we invite first-generation individuals with different backgrounds and perspectives to address challenges and interventions for the inclusion of first-generation individuals in both academic and work environments at UBC.

Directed by Zahra Fazal. Produced by Alec Christensen and UBC FGSU on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) people. Supported by the UBC Equity Enhancement Fund 2019.
