First in the Pack: First Generation College Celebration Week

About this event

FGCC is celebrated annually on November 8 to commemorate the signing of the Higher Education Act ("HEA") of 1965 by then-President Lyndon B. Johnson. This annual opportunity raises awareness of the first-generation college student identity by advancing an asset-based, national narrative of these students' experiences and outcomes. The UATSSC will join in support by highlighting First Gen students at A-State, November 2-6 with a variety of activities. Stop by to grab a swag bag, share your story on social media or support a fellow student. First Gen for the Win! See the events below.
