November 8th was the nationwide First-Generation College Celebration, organized by the Council for Opportunity in Education (COE) and the Center for First-Generation Student Success of NASPA-Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education. First-Generation
College Celebration is a day where colleges across the country take time to celebrate the unique experience of being a first generation college student. First generation is defined as neither parent having a four year degree. A majority of FM students are first in their family to go to college, so we have a lot to celebrate.
Supportive faculty and staff, many of them first gen themselves, make FM a great place to start your academic career.
