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.

 

Have a great week!

 

Lydia
