Hi all,
Consider promoting in your newsletters, or look at the opportunities for you to engage as well if you are a former first-generation college student.

Subject: Spread the word: First Gen Events + Opportunities!
Good morning,
There are a few upcoming opportunities to support or get involved with First Gen Nebraska, and we need your help to get the word out!
The next FGN Coffee & Connections
event is one week from today (February 21) from 10 – 11:30 am behind Dunkin’ in Love Library. Students are invited to attend to meet and mingle with fellow first-gen students and connect with faculty and staff who are first-gen supporters. This is a low-stakes,
no-pressure event. Students can stay for as long (or short) as they want, stop by with questions, or come for nothing but vibes. Members of the First Gen Advisory board will be around for questions and conversations!
We’ll be offering *free* coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and donuts, and I believe there will be button making again!
UESS units: A digital sign for this event is attached – it can start running today and continue through next Friday
(non-UESS units are invited to run the sign too, if relevant for your area).
This event is designed for first gen students, but we know it can be a little intimidating for students to head into a new space all on their own. We’d love to have you join us, especially if you’re bringing along
a few first-gen friends 😊
You can check out the event posting
here.
Apply to join the First Gen Advisory Board!
It’s that time of year again - First Generation Nebraska (FGN) seeks applications from UNL students, faculty, staff, and alumni who wish to serve as members of the FGN Advisory Board.
The FGN Advisory Board meets three times a semester during the academic year to provide feedback to the Office of the Executive Vice Chancellor’s Office regarding how to best support first-generation students, staff,
and faculty. In addition, board members commit to active participation in FGN events and pledge to co-lead and support first-gen initiatives, such as the Coffee & Connections event above and First Gen Week. The term of service is for two consecutive academic
years.
Applications are due by Friday, March 14, 2025. Applications should be submitted online
here.
Please share with your networks – drop in newsletters or group chats, tap individuals that you think would make great board members, and bring a few first-gen students to join the events!
Have a great weekend!
Lydia
