Events

Join us for a welcoming Lunch & Talk designed especially for first-generation graduate students. This event is a chance to connect with fellow first-gen peers, share experiences, and build community in a relaxed and supportive setting.

In this session, Speaker Omar Abdullah will cover: Practical, non-cringey strategies to gain buy-in, follow up meaningfully, and stay top of mind inside and outside academia. In this session, graduate students will get comfortable with the parts of professional life that no one really teaches: influence, presence and connection.
