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.

Subject: First Gen Coffee & Conversations: March 11
Good afternoon all,
The next FGN Coffee & Connections event is next Tuesday from noon – 1:30 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 Tuesday
(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.
Also, applications to join the First Gen Advisory board will remain open through Friday, March 14! UNL students, faculty, staff, and alumni are all invited to apply.
The FGN Advisory Board meets three times a semester during the academic year to provide feedback to the Office of the Executive Vice Chancellor’s Office regarding how to best support first-generation students, staff, and faculty. In addition,
board members commit to active participation in FGN events and pledge to co-lead and support first-gen initiatives, such as the Coffee & Connections event above and First Gen Week. The term of service is for two consecutive academic years.
Applications are due by Friday, March 14, 2025. Applications should be submitted online
here.
Thank you!
Lydia
