Join First Year Connections within New Student and Family Programs and the First Gen + Center for this networking dinner! This is a chance for First Generation students in their first year (freshman or transfer undergrad students) to meet and connect with faculty and staff who were also First Generation students! There is no cost to attend and dinner will be provided.
At this time the Escape Room after dinner activity has been cancelled due to sign ups.
