First Generation Professionals (FGP) is a student-led group that supports incoming students who are the first in their families to attend college, to attend law school, and working class students. We are proud to be an intersectional and diverse organization, and encourage anyone interested to join our family.
We facilitate the transition and integration of first-generation law students through social activities, career advising, and mentorship with peers and alumni. Our board is comprised of students who have been through this process and are eager to pass on the torch to all of you.
