First Gen Summit

First Gen Game Changer

First Gen Summit

Join us for First Gen Summit! A First Gen exclusive pre-orientation event taking place the days before Move-In.

Early move-in for students living on campus, along with workshops and activities designed to help you get to know UTC and learn about the resources available to you. There will also be opportunities to explore Chattanooga, all led by our First Generation Peer Mentors.  By the end of the Summit, you'll be paired with your own mentor to help guide and advise you through your first year.
