¡Dale! The Experience of a 1st Gen Students of Color Mentorship Program ( Malloy 101)

Interested in learning about a mentorship program that supports first generation college students and their intersecting identities? Join us in our discussion of NYU’s FOCUS Mentorship Program!

FOCUS is a structured mentorship program designed to offer first-year, first-generation undergraduate student mentees (specifically those who identify as students of color) the opportunity to develop relationships with other first-generation alum, faculty, staff, and graduate student mentors who can serve as resources and/or advocates through establishing an ongoing mentoring relationship. Through this workshop session, you will gain knowledge in how to better support the first-year transition and success of first-generation students of color, and international students. You will also walk away with ideas on how to implement a first year mentorship program that matches first-gen students to first-gen professionals as well as the importance of building a first gen community with other first gen peers (both students as well as professionals).

Come chat with a mentor and mentee of NYU’s FOCUS Mentorship Program! They will be sharing their experience of participating in a first-generation mentorship program.
