Calling all first-gen advocates and alumni

UAF’s first-gen program is recruiting volunteers to mentor first-generation students for the 2021-2022 academic year. If you were the first in your family to graduate from college, you can .

The level of involvement is determined by your availability, and it can be as much of a time commitment as you and your mentee choose. We encourage routine check-ins and contacts for a successful relationship. You can learn more about the first-gen program here, or contact Claire Swanson at uaf-firstgenak@alaska.edu.
