Throughout the year, we organize conversations, informal talks, pizza parties and other events that bring first-generation students together with faculty mentors and alumni. Exploring topics ranging from imposter syndrome to social barriers, academic uncertainties to career possibilities, these events offer important connections and resources for students and mentors. Learn about our upcoming events and recent news, and how to support these and other CAHSS First-Generation College Student Program initiatives.

Josué Rodríguez grew up in Denver. To him, the University of Denver was the bridge over East Evans Avenue. When he began thinking about college, he considered a variety of universities in Colorado, but landed on DU. He will soon graduate with a BA in political science, a BA in international studies and a minor in critical race and ethnic studies (CRES).
