Connect with First-Gen Mentors and Allies - Join "I Was First Too: Connections!"

A first-generation college student is one whose parent(s) or guardian(s) did not attend or graduate from college, OR did not complete a four-year degree.

Are you a first-generation college student looking to connect with someone who's been in your shoes?

The Office of Inclusion & Belonging is excited to invite you to join "I Was First Too: Connections" - a meet 'n' greet opportunity to connect with first-generation faculty and staff, as well as allies who understand your journey and want to help you succeed and thrive at Georgia College & State University. It will be held Thursday, Nov. 6, 5-6:30 p.m. in the Willow Room of the Magnolia Center. Light refreshments will be served.

At the meet 'n' greet, you'll have the opportunity to:

• Meet GCSU professionals who were the first in their families to go to college.
• Build community and belonging on campus.
• Ask questions, share experiences, and gain advice for academic and personal success.
• Learn ways to connect with potential mentors.
