Come join the FGSI, speaker Emma Kirby from the Division of Exploratory Studies 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 on campus. Open to all students and food will be first come, first served.
