About the Annual Conference
Find community within a conference
The FGLI Consortium Annual Conference brings together administrators and faculty to build community while sharing and generating promising practices around the experiences of first-generation and/or lower-income college students at selective universities and colleges – institutions where FGLI students have historically experienced barriers to access and success, and have thereby been underrepresented.
​
The Annual Conference provides multiple avenues for learning and discussion, through featured keynote speakers, workshop sessions, group activities, and structured time for reflection and action planning.
