First-Generation, Low-Income Club

About Us

The First-Generation/Low-Income (FLI) group at Yale School of Management strives to connect students with resources and establish a sense of community, belonging, and inclusion amongst and for those who share the FLI identity. Our 50-plus student clubs are an integral part of the Yale SOM community. Clubs provide forums for discussion and opportunities for action, and they foster students' leadership and business skills via consulting engagements, workshops, roundtables, conferences, and fundraisers. SOM clubs are inclusive networks open to all students to participate as identifying members or as active allies.
