Submit Your First-Generation Stories
The Office of New Student and Family Programs is expanding the National First-Generation College Student Celebration from one day to one week! The campus will celebrate Nov. 7-11 with a variety of events. A full schedule will be released in the coming weeks, so grab your calendar!
We need your help! If you are a first-generation college student, graduate, staff or faculty member, we want to hear your story. Please fill out this form to share more about you, your background and what being a first-gen means to you. We will use your submissions to share with the campus community so other first-gen students can feel your support!
