Alumni Opportunities
Join as as we celebrate our first-generation-to-college community!
First Gen Week @ Penn is November 8th-14th, 2024Penn has always admitted students who were the first in their families to pursue a four-year degree as well as those who benefit from its increasingly robust financial aid programs. However, only recently has the notion of developing community around these experiences become the focus of our work with students and alumni. We invite all first-generation alumni to update their status in MyPenn to include being a first-generation as an affinity group so you can receive news of opportunities to connect with other first-generation alumni and/or current undergraduates.
