The Emory community recognized National First-Generation College Celebration, with Emory First hosting a series of events in collaboration with Campus Life departments, university partners and recognized student organizations.
Festivities kicked off Friday, Nov. 8, and continued the following week.
Emory’s First-Gen College Celebration Week offered opportunities for the campus community to participate in various events such as a letter-writing activity honoring veterans and a session offering a supportive space for students to share thoughts on civic engagement. Additional events included a bonfire at the Campus Life Pavilion and a graduate student mixer featuring live music.
A part of Campus Life’s Belonging and Community Justice, Emory First builds on the university’s long history of ensuring that all students have access to the resources and sense of community essential to their successful educational journey.
Emory First is one of the six student identity spaces serving all Emory students, cultivating community-building and supporting the university’s commitment to student flourishing.
