Quaker Conversations: First Generation and Low-Income Students

When asked why they chose Penn, our students frequently refer to the people here. During our Quaker Conversations you’ll have the opportunity to hear from some of those people as you explore communities across the university. This session will feature current Penn students who are the first in their families to go to college and/or who come from low-income households. They will share their experiences navigating the university and becoming actively involved in student life. Find out about the challenges and successes they have faced throughout their college journeys, and learn how they have taken advantage of campus resources along the way.
