FGLI (First-Generation, Low-Income) Support Committee
FGLI (First-Generation, Low-Income) Support Committee
Are you the first in your family to attend college? A medical student, administrator or faculty member from a disadvantaged background? The first physician in your family? An ally who would like to support and understand the experience of First-Generation and Low-Income (FGLI) classmates? If so, consider joining Stritch's FGLI community!
Our community will serve three primary aims:
1. Social support & community through building space to recognize a shared identity, elevating student stories & advocating for FGLI student needs
2. Workshops related to the "hidden curriculum" of medical school including academic & financial support
3. Mentorship by developing a professional network within Stritch faculty & alumni
