The Summit will take place on Friday, November 8th, 2024, from 9 am - 4 pm. Location TBA.

We welcome and encourage all presentation topics, keeping in mind the needs of First-Generation in College students (https://firstgen.naspa.org/why-first-gen). Listed here are the learning outcomes we have for the summit. We encourage you to use these for your proposal.

  *   Self-Authorship 1: Students will be able to describe their personal responsibility for their values and beliefs through continuous self-reflection and exploration. 
  *   Self-Authorship 3: Students will articulate their personal responsibility for their identities and lived experiences and engage in discussions involving perspectives different from their own.
  *   Self-Authorship 4: Students will be able to explore and create learning experiences that will enhance their personal and professional development.
  *   First-Gen 1: First-generation summit participants will be able to articulate a sense of belonging by meeting and building community with one or more first-generation student and/or staff.

There are many opportunities for presentation topics; some examples to get you started:

  *   Asking for Help / How to Advocate for your Needs
  *   Working through Imposter Phenomenon
  *   Agency in Finding Resources
  *   Communicating with Faculty and Staff
  *   Why / How to / Strategies to Get Involved in...
     *   Research
     *   Leadership Positions
     *   Civic Engagement, etc.
  *   Developing Confidence

We are looking for presentations that have our example topics as a focal point, rather than an overview of a department. However, we are not discouraging presenters to talk about resources within their office or field that are related to those topics. The committee is very flexible with what a faculty or staff member would like to present as long as it’s beneficial and focal to first-generation students’ needs and success. As department, if you have resources you would like to infuse and weave above themes into your presentation, we highly encourage that!
