The Fuqua Low-Income, First-Generation Experience Club (LIFE) is a student-run organization dedicated to supporting and advocating for its members within the Fuqua community. We focus on mitigating structural barriers and enhancing the business school experience for LIFE members through admissions initiatives, community engagement, and professional development resources.
We also seek to foster allyship beyond Fuqua by creating opportunities for LIFE and non-LIFE students to engage in discussions about class privilege and systemic inequities. This empowers future leaders in advocating for socioeconomically disadvantaged students and young professionals.
Our organization operates on four core principles:
- Inclusive Community: we carry many different identities and lived experiences, which we will honor under our united LIFE identity
- Connection and Collaboration: we have navigated many experiences throughout life on our own, but we commit to building a supportive network and deepening relationships with one another to learn and grow together
- Open Doors: we will enable others to thrive and succeed by mitigating barriers and facilitating access to spaces
- Acknowledge our Power: we deserve and are worthy of being in every single space including the MBA programs and workplaces
