Students from diverse socioeconomic and family backgrounds can face a distinct set of challenges in business school. The founders of Yale SOM’s First Generation/Low-Income Club created the organization to offer resources, support, and a space for discussion.

Our mission is to educate leaders for business & society. The drive to build successful organizations that make a difference inspires our curriculum, our approach to research, and our community.

We seek students who care deeply about the problems afflicting our world.

We equip them with the knowledge, the resources, and the networks to pursue positive and ambitious change.
