Special Announcement!
The FGLI Consortium Conference is Coming to Rutgers University this Fall!
Rutgers University is proud to host the FGLI Consortium, a national organization that provides leadership, expertise, and resources around the experience of first-generation and/or lower-income college students at highly-selective universities and colleges. Rutgers is the first public institution to host the FGLI Consortium’s annual conference since the organization was founded in 2017. At this November meeting, we will convene partners from across the public and private sectors to collaboratively develop scalable strategies for supporting this vital student population.
While the primary conference activities will take place on the New Brunswick Campus, this convening is a genuinely collaborative effort, bringing together leadership, staff, faculty, and student advocates from each of our campuses.
Date: November 17-20, 2026
Location: New Brunswick, New Jersey
