Being a first-generation college student refers to those whose parents or guardians did not complete a bachelor’s degree – an incredible achievement worth celebrating!
Join us as we recognize First-Gen College Celebration Week with events open to all Wilkes students, faculty, and staff, whether you’re first-gen yourself or a proud first-gen friend!
First at Wilkes Tabling Event
Monday, November 3 | 12–2 p.m. | Greenway
Stop by for candy, meet members of the First at Wilkes community, and grab a First at Wilkes shirt (while supplies last!).
Games, Crafts, & Connections
Wednesday, November 5 | 4 p.m.–6 p.m. | JPAC
Take a break, get creative, and connect with others! We’ll be serving donuts and apple cider for a cozy night of games and crafts. Plus – everyone who attends will receive a free chip to use at Casino Night on November 7th, hosted by Student Government!
Come celebrate the courage, community, and Colonel pride that make us First at Wilkes!
