In recognition of the signing of the Higher Education Act of 1965, Nov. 8 has been designated as a National Day of Celebration in honor of first-generation college students. Forty percent of OLLU students identify as first-generation.

Please join the First-Gen. Student Organization, supported by multiple student organizations and departments around campus, in celebrating our first-generation students on Tuesday, Nov. 8 at 11:30 a.m. in the Mall area.

The OLLU and McCollum High School mariachi bands will perform along with the OLLU and Lanier High School dance teams. There also will be free food and drinks, games and prizes.
