First-Generation Students Flock to Harvard for 1vyG Conference

More than 350 college students, administrators, and alumni from across the country gathered this weekend on Harvard’s campus to celebrate their identities as first-generation college students, representing the culmination of many years of first-generation advocacy at Harvard and other colleges.

The conference, hosted by a group called 1vyG that spans eight college campuses, comes after last year’s first-generation conference held at Brown University.
