First-Generation Programs Workshop Series

In the fall 2020 semester First-Generation Programs is offering 10 workshops designed to help you develop skills in the following areas: academic engagement, career exploration and development, campus and community involvement, financial literacy, inclusive and cultural awareness, wellness, leadership and civic engagement.

• Time: Tuesday afternoons 12:45-1:45 pm
• Location: Online, via Zoom -> Click on the link here to join.

All workshops are free, designed to explore your strengths and connect to resources that will support you as a first-generation student at NAU. For the workshops, we will utilize the NAUFlex model, and be a part of First-Generation Pathways, a program of YourPath@NAU. The QR code will be provided at the end of the workshop, and we plan to provide a recording in the Suitable app in case students would like to watch the content at a later time.
