First-Gen faculty and staff are invited to join this directory by completing the First Gen Proud form.

Joining the First Gen Proud Directory will also ensure you are updated with ways to get involved with First Gen Roo Programming, such as First Gen Roo Scholars Welcome Week, Pizza with a First Gen Professor,
