First Gen Summit 2026

The Kessler Scholars Collaborative is excited to bring student leaders together at the 14th annual First Gen Summit at Harvard University. This one-day, student-led conference is designed for first-generation college students and allies to meet and inspire one another, identify common challenges and critical strategies, and build affirming communities across institutional boundaries to promote first-generation college student success. 

If you have not already done so, please complete the sponsorship form as soon as possible to confirm that your Collaborative Student Leadership Board representative will participate in the Summit.
