First-generation Undergraduate
Universityisajourney-wehelpyoufindyourway.
University is exciting, but at times, feels like navigating unchartered journey without a map. FirstGens is here to change that. We’re the torch that helps light the way. Offering a roadmap, filled with honest guidance, a supportive community and the tools to help you not just survive university, but thrive.
We are First-generation Students, Graduates and Professionals
Who knows what it’s like to take this path without a guide and the unexpected hurdles along the road. If your parents or guardians didn’t attend university or finish a degree, you’re likely a first-generation student. Even if your siblings have, your experience still counts. Our community journey together, supporting each other at every step of the way, from people who’ve been there.
