Check In at the Maverick Mind Conference

In January, the First-Gen+ Support Center hosted 100+ students at the Maverick Minds Conference. This conference was the first of its kind at CMU, offering students a unique chance to explore their thought processes and discover how others think. It was designed for first-generation students, TRIO participants and various student groups across campus.
