National First-Generation College Celebration Day is Nov. 8. Each year on or around this day, hundreds of institutions plan activities to raise awareness of the first-generation college student identity.

At OLLU, The First Gen. Student Organization will host a celebration in the Mall Area from 11:30 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. with other student organizations, campus departments, and members of the local community to celebrate those who are first-generation college students.

A first-generation college student is a student whose parents nor legal guardians have an earned a bachelor’s degree.
