Being the first in your family to navigate college is a powerful achievement—but it also comes with a unique set of challenges. From deciphering unspoken campus rules to balancing family expectations with your own goals, the first-generation experience can sometimes feel like stepping into a whole new world without a roadmap.

Join Brianda Diaz De Leon, a licensed mental health counselor specializing in first-gen student success, for an empowering and supportive session on navigating college with confidence, clarity, and peace of mind.

In this interactive session, you'll explore how to:

• Overcome Imposter Syndrome: Recognize the unique strengths and resilience you bring to campus, while tackling feelings of self-doubt or belonging.

• Balance Dual Expectations: Navigate the delicate dynamic between staying connected to family commitments back home and focusing on your academic goals.

• Master the Unwritten Rules: Build the self-advocacy skills needed to seek out mentorship, ask for help early, and unlock campus opportunities.

• Protect Your Mental Health: Learn practical strategies for managing stress, avoiding burnout, and prioritizing your emotional well-being throughout the semester.

Your journey is proof of your strength, but you don't have to figure it all out alone. Join us to connect with peers who share similar paths, build community, and gain tools to help you thrive both in and out of the classroom!
