National First Gen Day celebrates first-generation students around the country! Held on November 8 every year, this day highlights the unique contributions and successes of first-gen students. At WSU, we use this day to support and elevate first-gen voices with panels, keynotes, networking events, lunches, and more.  

Events for National First Gen Day 2024 are in the works and will appear here once they are confirmed. Check back closer to Nov. 8 to see how you can get involved with celebrating first-gen Cougs!
