Celebrate our First-Generation Students on Nov. 8
Being first isn’t easy – but it’s powerful.
Did you know 40.7% of our undergraduate students are the first in their families to attend college? On First-Generation College Celebration Day (Nov. 8), we’re celebrating these remarkable students who are fully engaged in all that Minnesota State Moorhead has to offer.
We loved hearing their stories — about hands-on research guided by influential faculty, meaningful involvement in student organizations, and creativity and energy they bring to music, art, athletics, and campus life.
Whatever their passion, Moorhead first-gen students discover mentors who care, opportunities that challenge and inspire, and a community that feels like home.
We’re proud to support them on the way to their degree.
Want to celebrate our first-gen students on social media? Here’s a story about several of them.
And watch for posts to re-share on Moorhead social channels on Saturday, Nov. 8!
