The Fiat Lux Scholars Program hosts monthly Faculty Reception for program participants. The goal of the Faculty Receptions include:
1. To connect Fiat Lux scholars with faculty members outside of the classroom;
2. Te help develop networking and communication skills; and
3. To provide a friendly atmosphere for Fiat Lux scholars to explore courses, majors, minors, research opportunities, graduate school possibilities, and careers with faculty members.
4. To share first-generation stories with each other, as applicable.
