First-Generation Programs
Connect with a first-generation programs mentor
Are you a first-generation college student seeking support, guidance, and community? The Office of First-Generation Programs assists students in accessing important resources, making connections, and building community through one-on-one mentoring. Students like you can connect with a student peer mentor to work toward your goals and enhance your experience at Northern Arizona University.
Not sure if you want a mentor or want to ask some questions? Our mentors have weekly office hours throughout the academic year! They can assist you with questions, resources, and enrollment guidance. Please email us at firstgen@nau.edu for the mentoring schedule.
