As an official chapter of the National Leadership Society of First Generation College Students (FirstGen Society), we unite first‑generation college students at MDC who support one another through shared stories, academic and personal encouragement, and a commitment to growth, purpose, and opportunity. Rooted in the values of Miami Dade College, such as access, inclusion, and student success, our chapter fosters belonging, resilience, and leadership, empowering students to thrive in their education, their careers, and the communities they proudly represent.
