Regardless of your story, you\u2019re a first-gen student. While you\u2019re a diverse group, there is a lot that you have in common. You are resilient, passionate, and ready to solve a problem. The <em>hidden curriculum<\/em> of college policies, procedures, jargon, and expectations can be difficult. We\u2019re here to help. Check out the ways to find support, connection, and celebration as you progress through your college journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-first-gen-college-celebration-day\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">First-Gen College Celebration Day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">November 8 is the national First-Generation College Celebration day celebrated across the country.
