Here, members of the GSB FLI Club reflect on their experiences to help students of all socioeconomic backgrounds imagine themselves on campus. “Coming from a FLI background means harnessing the power to overcome social expectations and breaking through ceilings,” says Marcia Austin, MBA ’22. “It means creating stability and redefining the narrative. It stands for progress and growth.”
