First-Generation Conversations:
The Ups and Downs of Talking about Your College Experience When You Go Home

Thursday, November 8
12:30 – 1:30 p.m.
S106 CPHB

Are you a student, faculty, or staff member who identifies as a first-generation college student? The College of Public Health invites you to a free lunch and conversation as part of the UI’s National First-Generation College Celebration.

With fall break around the corner, many students will be going home and visiting with family and friends. We’d like to provide the opportunity for students and others to discuss the struggles and joys of sharing what they are doing in college with people who may or may not be able to relate.

We will have a panel of first-generation graduate and undergraduate students to help us lead an informal discussion on the first-generation experience as it relates to communicating that experience to loved ones. A full lunch will be provided, so please be sure to RSVP at: http://bit.ly/CPHFirstGenConvoRSVP

If you are interested in serving as a student panelist, please email Katie McCullough at katie-mccullough@uiowa.edu

We look forward to a productive and inspiring conversation!
