The First-Generation Faculty Initiative is a network of first-generation faculty committed to supporting first-generation students. They are active in the community, promote their first-generation identities, and advocate for the first-generation community at UCLA.
As the First To Go Office tries to re-establish the First-Generation Faculty Initiative, we hope to accomplish the following goals:
- Greater transparency of first-generation faculty across campus
- An established community of students, faculty, and staff through First To Go events and networking opportunities
- Increased cross-campus support for first-generation students
- Opportunity to mentor First-Gen Graduate Students
- Opportunity to serve as a panelist/keynote speaker at First-Gen events (Welcome Soiree, Graduation, etc.)
Best,
First To Go Staff
