FGA has received news coverage from various student-produced news outlets, such as Daily Collegian and Onward State, to promote the events and advocacy work being done for first-generation students here at Penn State. These range from stories about National First-Generation College Student Day, partnerships with other on-campus clubs, and general activities hosted by FGA. Through our efforts, we hope to encourage potential members to get involved and help increase student engagement.
