Share Your First-Generation Student Story

Nov. 8 is First-Generation College Student Day, a national celebration of the success and presence of first-generation college students, faculty, and staff on campuses across the country. This annual event was created by the Council for Opportunity in Education (COE) and the NASPA Center for First-Generation Student Success and is held on the anniversary of the signing of the Higher Education Act of 1965.

MSUM proudly supports the experience of first-generation students and would like to share their stories. If you or someone you know would have an interesting story to tell, email marketingteam@mnstate.edu.
