All faculty, staff, and students are invited to submit proposals for presentations at the 2nd annual “I’m the First” First Generation Summit.

The goals of the summit are to spread awareness and understanding of what it means to be a first-generation college student (the first individual in their family to attend college), and to provide resources that will be helpful both for students and for the faculty and staff who want to help them succeed.

The First Gen Summit will be on April 13th, 2019, at the Iowa Memorial Union, from 10 pm to 5 pm.

If you have an idea for a presentation on a topic that intersects the first-generation student identity and the goals of the summit, please submit your idea for consideration:

The deadline for submission is Friday, March 1st.

Submissions to present will be reviewed by UISG and members of the First-Generation Student Task Force.  A total of eight presentations will be selected.

The First Gen Summit will be sponsored by the University of Iowa Student Government (UISG), working in collaboration with the First-Generation Student Task Force. The Task Force is a committee of faculty and staff brought together by the Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost.
