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 on Friday November 8th and join the LIFT Student Org at the Daily Grind from 3-5pm for First-Gen Friday!
