Student Employment: Work for FGLI Student Support as a Peer Navigator!
The Peer Navigator Program is housed at Cornell University’s FGLI Student Support. These student leaders support FGLI Student Support’s mission to promote identity exploration, community, advocacy, and empowerment for all students who identify with the FGLI student experience. Peer Navigators aim to provide peer-to-peer education and comprehensive navigation of on- and off-campus resources. Resources include but are not limited to basic needs, emotional well-being, scholarship/grant aid, and other resources encompassing transformative student experiences.

Open positions will be posted on Workday every Spring semester. For questions and more information, please contact us at fgliempowerment@cornell.edu.
The First Generation Student Union is a registered undergraduate student organization that works collectively to foster an inclusive community for first-generation and/or low-income (FGLI) students. FGSU is committed to ensuring FGLI Cornellians find a true sense of belonging through student-led programming and collaborations with campus partners.
