Subject: Thriving Not Surviving Event: Coming Up

Good morning all, 

I hope your Summer is going well.

There is an event that is taking place next week that I would like to ask to please share with students. The event is Thriving, Not Surviving: Navigating Higher Education as a First-Generation College Student. I included some information about the event, flyer, and a link where students can register on Shoreline. 

Thriving is an event where students, particularly McNair students, as well as first-generation, transfer, and underrepresented students enrolled in Summer Session B, can learn from first-generation graduate students, staff, and faculty about various aspects of the first-generation experience, including navigating imposter syndrome, self-care strategies, and how to survive and thrive in academic spaces.

Date: Wed, Aug 5, 2026
Time: 12 PM – 2 PM
Location: Multicultural Center Lounge & Theater

Link for students to register:

The event is hosted in collaboration with: EOP, Transfer Student Center, ONDAS Student Center, Summer Sessions, McNair Scholars Program, Successful Student Transitions. 

Thanks so much,

~Brenda
