Each year on November 8th, we honor the signing of the Higher Education Act of 1965, which expanded college opportunities for low-income and first-generation students. Join us as we celebrate the accomplishments of first-generation students at William & Mary with a variety of engaging activities throughout the week. Celebrate with us by wearing your First-Gen swag!

We encourage everyone to share their celebrations on social media! Use the hashtag #CelebrateFirstGen to spread our first-generation celebration.

Together, let's make this week a memorable celebration of our first-generation community at William & Mary.
