Celebrate First-Generation Student Week, Nov. 2-6

October 25, 2020

National First-Generation College Student Celebration is Nov. 8. To celebrate, the Center of Engagement and Inclusion will host a series of events the week of Nov. 2-6 to honor faculty, staff and students who identify as the first person in their families to attend college. 

Events include: 

Career Services’ First Gen Connect Event | Wednesday, Nov. 4, 5 p.m. to 6:15 p.m.
First-generation students are invited to attend this evening of storytelling and conversation with fellow first-gen faculty, staff, alumni and employers. Attendees will hear and share stories of the successes and challenges as members of the first-gen Marquette community.

Students will learn to connect their degree to the world of work by meeting employers committed to hiring diverse talent. All students — first-year through graduate and from all majors — are encouraged to attend.

Register to attend via Handshake.


Paint Night | Friday, Nov. 6, 9 p.m. to 11 p.m.
Sponsored by Late Night Marquette in partnership with the I’m F1RST student organization.

First-gen juniors and seniors: Contribute to the first-gen zine project
