The First Gen Alumni Network held a planning retreat on Sunday, May 20, 2018. The First Gen Alumni Network planning committee sets the vision and direction of the group.

"We believe first-gen college graduates deserve to be professionally supported and we want to be a social network that operates like a family.

Therefore, we will identify the diverse needs of alumni and build community along the year through communal support online and quarterly events, resulting in a network of leaders that cultivate opportunities in each of their regions."

To join the committee in advancing this vision, please contact Firstgen@alumni.ucla.edu.
