About Us
It is the mission of the First Gen DePaul Student Organization to bring together a community of students who identify as first-generation college students at DePaul University and create spaces where students can develop connections with others who share this identity and cultivate strong leadership and future success amongst peers. We work to foster the value of shared experiences and consistently create a community of visibility and advocacy for students who have not had a clear path for themselves and little guidance on how to get through college and achieve their goals. Throughout this organization, we work to take away the feeling of having to understand the college process alone as we push first-generation students to feel empowered to ask for help in addition to the student organization's resources.
