First-Generation Student Week events
Next week The Office for Justice, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion will be celebrating First-Generation Student Week by offering two workshops, one centered towards staff and faculty, one centered towards students (though both are open to all). We also wanted to highlight an important presentation being offered by Be Well. Please see details for all three below. We hope to see you all there!
