What is the 1st Generation Grad Student Series?
This program is open to all first-generation graduate students. First generation graduate students are students whose mother or father did not graduate from a 4-year college or university. The program includes three sessions that will provide students with information on how to navigate graduate school. By incorporating workshops, guest speakers, and panelist from various departments, the information provided will be beneficial for all first generation Master’s or PhD students.
