First Generation
This identity/allyship rope team is a community for first-generation students and alums, and for all community members to support the first-generation student/alum experience. This rope team is designed to elicit and voice their shared experiences and to make available the connections, opportunities, resources and experiences central to their development and success. We call them “rope teams” because they, as many as you are interested in accessing, are here to support your student and alum journey as well as to provide you with an opportunity to support the journey of those you want to help succeed.
