Are you a first-generation student?*
Join First-UP and Campus Life & Engagement for snacks and community-building as we recognize the strength, resilience, and pride of the first-gen identity. This social mixer is your chance to connect with fellow trailblazers, meet others who share your journey, and discover student groups and campus resources here to support your success.
Whether you're looking to make new friends, find your people, or learn more about what’s available to you on campus, the First-UP Mixer is your space to thrive.
All first-generation students, staff, and faculty are invited. Come as you are — and leave with new connections, inspiration, and a stronger sense of belonging.
Let’s celebrate being first, but not alone!
*First-Generation broadly means that your parents or caregivers did not complete a four-year postsecondary degree in Canada or North America (but your siblings may have), and includes students who are or were youth in care, as well as students estranged from their families. Essentially, if you feel like a trailblazer and you are seeking support from others who feel the same, this event is for you!
