First@BYU

Starting college is an exciting new chapter, and we know it can also feel overwhelming at times. If you're the first in your family to attend college, you don't have to navigate it alone.

First@BYU is a community created to support incoming first-generation students as they begin their college journey. Here, you'll connect with other first-generation students, build relationships with BYU faculty and staff, discover campus resources, and grow in confidence to succeed at BYU.

Join us throughout the fall semester:

• September 9: Opening Social
  Build Community & Find Your People

Start your BYU journey by connecting with other first-generation students, meeting campus partners, and building your BYU community.

Enjoy lunch from BYU Catering.
