About

Duke F1RSTS, formed in Spring 2018, is the network of first-generation graduate and professional students at Duke. Our organization supports Duke’s first-gen graduate and professional student population from all departments through:

Duke F1RSTS socials
Career and resume workshops
A national first-gen conference each spring
Networking with first-gen Duke alumni
Mentoring first-gen Duke undergraduates
And more!

If you identify as a first-generation graduate student or ally, we’d love to have you join our community. Explore our website to learn more about Duke F1RSTS, and feel free to reach out to us at dukef1rsts-request@duke.edu. We’re looking forward to hearing from you!
