Residential Life is launching 2024-2025 applications for the First Generation Mentorship Program (FGMP), and we are looking for mentors for FGMP’s fourth year! We’ve had incredible growth in FGMP over the past three years and many students who are enthusiastic about being a mentee, and we’re excited for a strong group of Mentors. 

Our mission for FGMP is to help First-Generation students build relationships amongst themselves, faculty, and staff through mentorship while providing opportunities for personal, professional, and academic advancement. Ultimately, we want to help first-generation college students navigate their college experience while creating a safe space for students to express themselves, receive assistance to overcome their unique challenges, and prepare them for a brighter future.
