First Gen T-shirt designThe First Generation Student Network is designed to be a network of people (students, faculty, and staff) who are willing to serve as resources and allies for first-generation students. First-generation students may contact you as a person in this network for advice, assistance, mentoring or other needs (perhaps just to talk and share experiences). By agreeing to be part of this network, people consent to having their names and emails listed as well as agree to be contacted by students.
