The Office of First-generation Students, along with several campus partners, will host the 5th Annual First-generation Student Celebration on Friday, May 13, from 7:00 to 8:30 pm. Forum Hall. We recognize the importance of celebrating our students’ accomplishments and the significance of this milestone for our students, their families, and support systems. Students and families not able to attend the event will have the opportunity to join the celebration via zoom. Students who attend the reception will receive a green cord symbolizing their resilience to wear to commencement as well as other small tokens of congratulatory sentiment. Those students who attend the event virtually will be able to pick up their cords from the Office of First-generation Students the week of May 9-13, 2022.
Please share this information with your graduating seniors and encourage them to participate and RSVP through this survey by April 29. All graduating seniors have received an email invite.
We hope you can join us in congratulating our May and Summer first-generation graduates online on Friday, May 13, 2022, 7:00 to 8:30 pm. Forum Hall.
