First Gen Mentor Program

First to Roar

The First-Gen Career Mentor Program creates meaningful, career-focused relationships that help students in reaching their career potential. Current first-generation LSU students are paired with first-generation professionals to build their professional skills and prepare them for success in their careers. 

Who is First-Gen?

First-generation students are students whose parents/guardians did not complete a bachelor's degree. A first-generation student may also be a student whose parents/guardians completed a college degree outside of the United States.
