🎉 Congratulations to Alyssa Nigel on being selected for the First-Generation Pathways Fellowship!

Alyssa is a third-year student majoring in political science. She is actively involved in @laucpsu, the Liberal Arts Chaiken Center for Student Success First-Gen Committee, @pennstatephc, and @thon_donoralumnirelations. After graduation, she hopes to pursue a career in public services advocating for women's rights.

Through this fellowship, Alyssa will receive mentorship, leadership development, and financial support as she works to develop a clearer sense of direction in her future career path and build upon her leadership skills.

"What makes me most proud of being a first-generation college student is that I am setting an example for my younger brother and establishing a new standard for my family as a whole." 

The First-Generation Pathways Fellowship is a three-semester program that provides first-gen students with career readiness tools, professional development opportunities, and resources to explore their strengths and prepare for life after graduation.
