The First Gen Access and Equity Committee holds events throughout the year to support First Gen students in Linguistics. We do this by providing spaces for First Gen students to connect, demystifying higher education and academia, and educating others on ways to support First Gen students.
At the LSA 2022 Annual Meeting, we held our inaugural virtual mixer. We hope first-gen individuals and allies can meet, discuss, and socialize with each other.
The winner of our logo competition was Dr. Iyad Ghanim!
