November 8th is National First-Generation Day, and each year, we celebrate with a week-long series of events dedicated to recognizing and honoring first-generation students, staff, and faculty. Throughout the week, we engage the campus community through interactive activities, meaningful discussions, and opportunities to celebrate the achievements, resilience, and contributions of first-gen individuals. This celebration not only highlights their successes but also fosters a sense of belonging and support, ensuring that first-generation students feel valued and empowered in their academic and professional journeys.
