In recognition of First-Generation College Celebration Day (Nov. 8), the departments of TRIO Student Support Services, TRIO McNair Scholars, and Multicultural Life will be hosting events that highlight the first-generation college experience during the week of November 4. These events will be geared to students, but all of the Augsburg community is welcome to attend. More information will be provided in the upcoming weeks.
