First Generation Student Union (FGSU)

President: Kali Venable
Treasurer: Kyleigh Dinnien
Faculty/Staff Advisor: Prof. Kish Parella


The purpose of this organization is to empower first generation law students to attend law school, excel, and feel confident entering the workforce. As first-generation students ourselves, we know a support system like this will be an invaluable tool to help navigate law school. The goal is to create support for students who are also in this demographic and build confidence to overcome barriers in the legal community. We will accomplish this through various organized mentorship programs, including 1-1 student mentors, alumni networking events, and organized social events for mentors and mentees.
