Once a First-Gen, Always a First-Gen: A Graduate School Panel

Coming in Fall 2025

Are you a first-gen undergraduate student interested in pursuing graduate studies? Do you want to hear from first-gen graduate degree holders?

The Graduate College hosts a special online information session titled Once a First-Gen, Always a First-Gen: A Graduate School Panel for first-gen undergraduate students and open to all students, which is held in the form of a panel discussion with successful first-gen graduate degree holders.

The panel discussion focuses on topics such as the panelists’ experience in graduate education, challenges they overcame, resources they found useful, and advice for current first-gen undergraduate students.
