In honor of First-Generation Celebration Day, the FGLI office is hosting a conference for first-gen students! This is a chance to meet your peers, find community, be celebrated and learn about all the resources available on campus. This full-day event will feature keynote speaker Anthony Abraham Jack and sessions on essential topics such as financial literacy, networking, life skills, mental well-being and career building. 

Any student on campus who identifies as a first-generation college student is welcome. At Cornell, we consider you a first-generation college student if you come from a family in which neither of your parents or guardians has obtained a four-year college degree.
