First Generation Harvard Alumni

Presidents' Letter

Hello and welcome!

It is my privilege to serve as FGHA President and to continue to have the chance to work with a talented group of Board members in responsibility to and leadership of our first-gen alumni community. We have a high-caliber membership with a variety of talents. Many of you joined FGHA with a desire to give back to the First Generation/Low Income (FGLI) student community at Harvard University in ways that leverage your skills and experience for impact.

The strength of our community lies in our collective first-gen identity. Each of us has a unique story to tell and experiences to share. Our journey is often inspirational and enlightening particularly to current students. At FGHA, we strive to create room for every member to bring their entire self, celebrate the same, and fully embrace being first.

To support member engagement, we strive to create more opportunities for you to be actively involved in FGHA. We will do this by engaging with current students, increasing alumni programming and events, and consistently communicating to and informing members, offering ways for you to lead. 

We have a world of opportunity ahead of us as we aspire for our organization to support Harvard University FGLI students and alumni. I look forward to experiencing a year full of growth, impact, and service - while having much fun along the way.

FGHA President, 2024-25
