The Center for Career Development offers a first-generation affinity community that focuses on enhancing professional and career skills for first-generation students.
If you know a student that self-identifies as first-generation, please encourage them to follow the first-generation affinity community page to receive notifications for different resources including events, jobs, internships, mentorships, and on-campus professional organizations that align with their career and professional goals.
