First Gen Foundations Leader Spotlight!

Meet one of our incredible First Gen Foundations Leaders, Katheryne Alejandro.

Her advice to fellow first-gen students is you should "follow your dreams no matter how impossible it sounds- do it anyway" and "the future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."

Another First-Gen Foundation session in the books!

This time, we took what we learned about walking intentionally in our purpose and turned our goals and values into vision boards. A little creativity, a lot of reflection, and plenty of big dreams!
