Save the Date for First-Gen Week

submitted by heisekat@augsburg.edu

First-Gen Week is the first week of November and is an extended celebration of First-Gen Day which takes place on November 8th annually.
First-Gen Day commemorates the signing of the Higher Education Act of 1965 by then-President Lyndon B. Johnson. This act created federal financial aid programs to fund students’ educations and made key investments in colleges and universities. Many of these programs, particularly the Federal TRIO programs (such as TRIO/SSS and TRIO McNair), promote postsecondary access, retention, and completion for today’s limited-income, first-generation college students.
First-Gen Week is a time to celebrate first-generation college students, faculty, and staff, as well as their supporters. Consider ways you can celebrate the first-gen folks in your departments, classes, organizations, etc., and stay tuned for information about programming across campus for the first week of November!
