Wed, Sept 22 (4-5:30) at the tent between Beeghly Library and Corns.
For first-gen* students, staff, and faculty, and those in solidarity with us.
Come for snacks, beverages, and community!
* First-Gen students/graduates are those people whose parents do not have a 4-year college degree. However, many people can relate to parts of the first-gen experience or want to build cross-class solidarity, and all are welcome to attend!
The event is co-organized by Dawn Chisebe (Interim Chief Diversity Officer), Paul Dean (Associate Professor, Sociology/Anthropology), Megan Ellis (Executive Director, Career Connections), Brad Pulcini (Dean of Student Services), Jason Timpson (Director, OMSA), and Mallorie Watts (First-Gen Program Coordinator, Student).
This initial event will be the first of several events to raise awareness and build community. Thanks to the Office of Career Connections, we will have first-gen t-shirts to giveaway at the event!
