In celebration of Class Awareness Month, we invite you to join FLI @ Columbia for our semi-annual Be the "1st" Dinner! The Be the "1st" Dinner is a space for students, faculty and staff who identify as FLI, as well as allies, to come together and have intentional conversations about the first-gen and/or low-income (FLI) experience. We aim to strengthen the bonds of the community by uniting FLI individuals from a wide variety of disciplines and backgrounds to foster connections, share strategies for success and celebrate the achievements of our community on campus.
