Due to the recent enthusiasm from the UP community and FGEN (First Generation students), Matt Daily has been able to purchase additional FGEN webinar sessions and is now offering them to faculty and staff. Daily proposes to use Fridays as a time to virtually gather as a community, learn together, and possibly debrief or brainstorm ideas. If you haven’t had a chance to watch the sessions on “Jargon,” “Partnering with Parents” and “Imposter Syndrome,” please consider doing so by using this link.

- Thursday, July 2, Noon to 1 p.m. (optional group debrief/chat 1-1:30): “NA Moderated Discussion: Fall 2020 First-gen Student Enrollment Considerations”
