First-generation Student Graduation Reception

The First-generation Student Center celebrates our first-generation graduates and their families each May. We recognize the significance of this milestone for our students, their families, and support systems.
Students will be given a green cord to wear to graduation as a symbol of their first-generation student identity and resilience. We are proud of our first-gen 'Cats!
