First Generation Student Initiatives @ Illinois

Come join the FGSI, speaker Emma Kirby from the Division of Exploratory Studies, and Rural Area Student Initiative (RASI) to learn more about the experiences of rural students on campus, especially those who are first-generation college students, LGBT+, among other underrepresented identities. We will share both a presentation and social time among students to form community and learn more about resources for them on campus. Open to all students and food will be first come, first served.
