FIRST-GEN ADVOCATES

Press

FGA has received news coverage from various student-produced news outlets, such as Daily Collegian and Onward State, to promote the events and advocacy work being done for first-generation students here at Penn State. These range from stories about National First-Generation College Student Day, partnerships with other on-campus clubs, and general activities hosted by FGA. Through our efforts, we hope to encourage potential members to get involved and help increase student engagement.

Two female students share attention towards a flyer that reads "First-Generation Celebration Day". The student on the left is pointing at the text on the flyer.
