College Visions

First-Gen Week Was a Success!

A huge thank you to everyone who participated in First-Gen Week! From The FLY Initiative for teaching our students about building wealth to the local National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) and United Cultural Council (UCC) Chapters for introducing our students to greek life to local community-based organizations and colleges and universities for showing up and showing out at the First-Gen Fest! The week of celebration was truly a success with all of your support.

To our amazing students, we hope you not only enjoyed the week’s festivities, but felt celebrated in your first-generation identity.
