The Recruitment and Retention Committee of the UT Senate of College Councils, along with the Faculty Affairs Committee, has been working to create a First-Gen panel with UT faculty. The panel will take place on Wednesday, February 12th, from 5:30 to 7:00 pm in the WCP North Ballroom 2.410. 

This particular event highlights first-generation faculty and their journey through academia. Students from all academic disciplines across campus will come to hear the stories, and ask questions of First-Gen faculty. We are very excited to launch this new event for First-Generation students to be able to see themselves represented in their UT faculty.

We will have Dean Goldbart of the College of Natural Sciences, Dean Martinez of the College of Education, Dr. Rachelle Chiang of the Public Health Program, and Dr. Kevin Cokley of the Educational Psychology and African and African Diaspora Studies Departments on our panel! We will also be serving pizza, drinks, and Tiff’s Treats!
