Hi all,
Encourage your first-gen students to attend. Consider attending yourself, especially if you are a former first gen student yourself.
Thanks.

Subject: FGN Coffee & Connections: April 9
Good morning all,
The next FGN Coffee & Connections event is next week on Wednesday, April 9 from 2-4 pm behind Dunkin’ in Love Library. Students are invited to attend to meet and mingle with fellow first-gen students and connect with faculty and staff who are first-gen supporters. This is a low-stakes, no-pressure event. Students can stay for as long (or short) as they want, stop by with questions, or come for nothing but vibes. Members of the First Gen Advisory board will be around for questions and conversations!
We’ll be offering *free* coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and donuts, and making buttons again!
UESS units: A digital sign for this event is attached – it can start running today and continue through next Wednesday (non-UESS units are invited to run the sign too, if relevant for your area).
This event is designed for first-gen students, but we know it can be a little intimidating for students to head into a new space all on their own. We’d love to have you join us, especially if you’re bringing along a few first-gen friends 😊
You can check out the event posting here<https://events.unl.edu/firstgennebraska/2025/04/09/187115/>.
Have a great week!
Lydia

Hi all,
The main focus of Friday's meeting will be SSH text message training for advisors, career coaches, Andrea, and Rebecca. We will all meet at 8:30 for updates and then Nicholas, Anna, Stephanie, Meredith, and Renae will be able to leave after that.
At 9 AM the rest of us will be joined by Jaci Gustafson (in person) and Alan Frizzell (via zoom) for the SMS training. I checked with Jaci and you do not need to bring a laptop unless you would like to. Most of the training will focus on policy and they will provide screen shots on how to send a text.
Let me know if you have any questions!
Amy

Hi all,
I’m not sure who all has gotten this e-mail, so thought I’d share broadly with our team. There’s information about an upcoming 1st Gen Networking and Coffee for students as well as an opportunity for staff to apply to be on the First Gen Advisory Board if you are interested.
Thanks.

Hi all,
This is an external scholarship for college freshmen or sophomores. Feel free to share with any of your students as you see fit. I'd also broadly encourage students to visit the External Scholarships page (https://financialaid.unl.edu/types-funding/external-scholarships/) if they are looking ot identify additional funding options to help offset the cost of their education. Thanks.
