OUR PRIDE & SPIRIT

 

Being the "first up" to go to college is something remarkable and should never be overlooked. We believe first generation college students and alumni should receive the recognition and praise they deserve. Through our fellowship and community, we make it a priority to celebrate first generation college students and alumni all year round! There are a number of ways we show member pride and spirit at FirstGen Society.
