First-generation and Multicultural (FaM) Business Program

The First-generation and Multicultural (FaM) Business Program is a comprehensive program designed to increase support for and resources to students who identify as first-generation or multicultural or both. We strive to help students deepen community, build social capital and career networks, and access their careers of interest. We provide peer and career/alumni mentorship and offer scholarships, year-round programming, internships, and many opportunities to engage in learning experiences - both in and outside the classroom - that help students successfully navigate their future career fields. FaM is a place to call home, where students are part of a validating environment that values their identity, accelerates their success, and deepens community. We support students' college completion by focusing on enhanced experiential learning opportunities, bolstering financial stability through paid mentorships, and increased access to academic support and career readiness programming that helps launch them into their careers after graduation.
