4th Annual FGLI Consortium Colloquium

Northwestern university
March 12 - 13, 2020

The 4th Annual FGLI Consortium Colloquium provides ongoing professional development around the needs of first-generation, lower-income students at highly-selective colleges and universities. The Annual Colloquium specifically serves administrators, staff, and faculty who work at colleges and universities, as discussion will be focused on supporting and empowering students within this context. Each college/university is invited to send one representative to participate and, post-conference, to share back with their institutional colleagues. In this intimate group setting, Colloquium participants will engage around an emerging trend or topic related to FGLI student development and support.
