National First-Generation Student Day is coming up on Nov. 8! Did you know that approximately 25 percent of the U of A student population is made up of first-generation students? 

The Office of Transition Programs and Initiatives celebrates this day each year with a week full of events leading up to our big celebration on Nov. 8. We are continuing the tradition this year, with First-Generation Student Week taking place Nov. 4-8. A full schedule of events can be found at firstgen.uark.edu.

For more details and to register for individual events, be sure to visit HogSync! Please note that some events require an RSVP in advance. 

If you have any questions, please contact Skyler Ames-Patton, assistant director of Transition Programs and Initiatives, at sbames@uark.edu.
