What is the Conference:
The UBC First Generation Students' Union (FGSU) organizes this event to promote equity and inclusion in higher education, specifically for first-generation university students. The one-day conference, themed "Pave the Way," was structured around three key streams: Inclusion, Impact, and Justice. These streams grounded discussions on critical topics such as food insecurity, financial and mental wellbeing, academic challenges, and sociocultural barriers faced by first-generation, low-income (FGLI) students.
