Join the Office of First-Generation Student Engagement for a special Graduate School Fireside Chat on November 4th from 6–8 PM at Commonwealth Auditorium!

Whether you’re considering graduate school or already in the process of applying, this event is a fantastic opportunity to learn directly from William & Mary graduates who have successfully navigated the path ahead of you. Our panelists will share their personal experiences, offering valuable insights into the admissions process, tips for thriving in grad school, and the unique challenges and rewards of being a first-gen student.

This relaxed, conversational event is designed to inspire, inform, and connect. You’ll hear real stories of perseverance and success, as well as practical advice on everything from choosing the right program to balancing academic pressures. Plus, it’s a great chance to meet and engage with other first-gen students who understand your journey and can offer support and camaraderie.

Whether you’re just starting to think about grad school or you’re deep into applications, don’t miss this opportunity to connect with peers and learn from those who’ve been in your shoes. This event is part of First-Gen Week’s Kickoff, and it’s open to all students!

We look forward to seeing you there and helping you take the next step toward your graduate school goals!
