Our mission is to foster a thriving community of college first-generation MBA students. Our core values—Community & Belonging, Support, and Visibility—guide our purpose and actions. FGSA is on a mission to build a close-knit community, provide essential support, and increase the visibility of first-generation MBA students. Together, we are reshaping the narrative of what it means to be a trailblazer in the business world.
The benefits and services provided by student groups are available to all Kellogg students without regard to any category protected by the law. Kellogg believes different perspectives, experiences and backgrounds are critical to a dynamic and vibrant university community, and as such all Kellogg students are welcome and encouraged to join each group.
We are dedicated to creating an inclusive and welcoming environment where first-generation MBA students can connect, share experiences, and build lasting relationships. We believe that a sense of belonging is essential for personal and professional growth.
FGSA is committed to providing unwavering support to our members. We will offer resources, mentorship, and a network of peers who understand the unique challenges and opportunities that come with being a first-generation college student pursuing an MBA. Our goal is to empower our members to excel in their academic and career pursuits.
We strive to elevate the visibility of first-generation MBA students within the Kellogg community and beyond. We aim to break down barriers and challenge stereotypes, proving that our diverse backgrounds bring a wealth of perspectives and strengths to the business world. Through advocacy, events, and outreach, we are making our presence known.
