FirstGen Network
Are You First?

Did you know that one-third of Detroit Mercy freshmen are first-gen students? Many Detroit Mercy professors, administrators and staff are first-gen graduates as well. If your parents did not graduate with a bachelor’s degree, you are a first-generation college student and we want you to join the network. FirstGen Network meets twice a month for food, conversation and community. FirstGen Network is sponsored by the Student Success Center.
Fall 2019 Luncheons
FirstGen Network lunches are on Thursdays from 12:45 to 1:45 p.m. in Room 324 of the McNichols Campus Library. We will invite guest speakers to present advice on how to be successful and share opportunities for first-gen students on campus and in the workplace.
