You Don’t Have to Do It Alone

You Don’t Have to Do It Alone: How Students Build Confidence, Find Support, and Succeed Without a Roadmap

Who says you have to figure it all out on your own? 🎉 This National First Generation Student Week, get ready to rethink what success looks like and discover the power of having the right people in your corner! 

Join Sydney Montgomery, JD—Harvard Law School graduate, Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, and Founder and Executive Director of Barrier Breakers—for an inspiring, interactive keynote designed to help you turn uncertainty into confidence and ambition into action. Drawing on her own journey and experience supporting more than 7,000 first-generation and low-income students, Sydney will share practical ways to find mentors, build meaningful connections with peers and professors, and ask for help without feeling awkward. 

Come ready to challenge the myth of doing it all alone, build your support network, and leave empowered to create your own path to success. Your goals are big. Your potential is limitless. And you don’t have to get there alone!
