Happy National First-Generation College Student Day! November 8th was selected as the date for the annual National First-Generation College Celebration to honor the anniversary of the signing of the Higher Education Act of 1965. Today is an opportunity to honor first-generation students on our campus and celebrate their many successes.
Our office wants to highlight some of the opportunities that might be of particular interest
to first-generation college students.
In our role as Fellowships Advisors, we enjoy supporting students as you design research projects, explore opportunities beyond the classroom, and learn to write compelling and concise narratives in the forms of personal statements and application essays. Regardless of the final outcome, the application process provides helpful reflective writing tools to visualize your future trajectory, define the necessary steps to achieve those dreams, and own the power of your story. Whether you want to run for office, provide public health services, serve as an educator, start a non-profit, or build community through art, we want to help you take the next steps to achieve your goal. We are here to listen, to support, and to uplift.
Today we wanted to highlight some of the many opportunities that might be of particular interest to those who are the first in their family to attend college. Please feel free to contact us at [email protected] to learn more about the ways we can support you.
