On Monday, USC First Generation students started celebrating “First-Gen Week”, which includes workshops, socials, and other fun activities to celebrate first generation Trojans.
To finish off the week tomorrow, the First Gen Plus Success Center will host “First Gen Convos” from 10:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. and the “First Gen Social” from 6 - 8 p.m.
And if you aren’t a first generation student, not to worry! We spoke to Michelle Montenegro, a sophomore working at the First Gen Plus Success Center, who said the events are open to everyone.
Michelle Montenegro: So for all of our events that we’re hosting this week, anybody is welcome. We obviously catered this week’s programing for first gen students, but we also invite any allies and anybody that wants to support to join.
