About the Annual Conference

Find community within a conference

The 2024 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.
