First Generation Professionals

First Generation Professionals (FGP) supports students who are the first in their families to attend college or professional school and may come from low-income or working class backgrounds. FGP facilitates professional development events, community-building social events, and faculty relationships that foster personal, academic, and career growth. Our most important work is responding to the needs of first generation and low-income students at ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ Law. Because the profession of law lacks significant socioeconomic diversity among its members, FGP seeks to narrow that gap. Many budding first generation lawyers do not know lawyers, cannot turn to family members for career advice, do not enjoy the benefit of personal connections, may not be aware of the invisible expectations of the profession, have significant familial or financial obligations outside of law school, or all of the above. FGP provides a community where similarly situated law students can relate to each other about the many compounded burdens facing first generation students in addition to the intense demands of law school.
