First Generation Day Celebration
The University is formally celebrating all of our students, faculty, staff, and alumni who identify – or identified – as first-generation college students, with our inaugural First Generation Day Celebration on Thursday, November 4th.
The day will provide an array of professional development and learning opportunities for first-generation learners throughout our community, and celebrate their contributions to RWU and beyond.
The day’s events will include First-Gen pin and sticker pick-ups at various locations on campus, and afternoon sessions – some in person, some virtual – where you will hear from First-Gen students, faculty, staff, and alumni.
Are you First Gen?
To ensure RWU includes and recognizes all of the first-gen members in our community, we need your help. If you are/were a first-gen college student in your family, please complete this brief survey. Note: First generation being defined as a student whose natural or adoptive parents did not received a baccalaureate degree.
Let Us Know If You're First Gen
We hope you will join us in this wonderful celebration!
