In this meeting Semiha Aydin will tell you about her experiences as a first generation student. She was involved in the development of the Pre-Study Programme (PSP) of the Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences. She recently finished her dissertation and received a grant for clinical research.
The PSP links students of Leiden University to Pre-university students (VWO) to give them a preview of what it is like to study at university, and gives them tools for both their academic and personal development.
Are you interested in her story and in meeting other first generation students? Then you should definitely join this event!
The language of the meeting depends on the preferences expressed by participants in the registration form.

Leiden Empowerment Fund
With the Leiden Empowerment Fund project we aim to share knowledge, strengths and skills and are establishing a university-wide network of first generation students and academics, connecting what is already there. We would love to welcome you at our meetings in which we will have informative sessions and the opportunity to meet up with each other to share experiences and needs!
The Leiden Empowerment Fund (LEF) is made possible by the donors of the Leiden University Fund (LUF) and was a farewell gift to our former Rector Magnificus Carel Stolker. It is supported and carried out by the Diversity and Inclusion Expertise Office.
