First-Gen Day

Brown University is proudly joining colleges and universities throughout the nation to participate in the National First-Generation College Celebration on November 8, 2024. Led by the Council for Opportunity in Education (COE) and the NASPA Center for First-Generation Student Success, the day is intended to celebrate the success and presence of first-generation college students, faculty and staff on campuses across the country.

How does Brown define First-Gen?

First-Gen is defined at Brown as "a student whose parents or guardians did not complete a four-year college education or any student who self-identifies as having minimal prior exposure to, or knowledge of, navigating higher education”. 

Help us celebrate

Brown’s U-FLi Center and Division of Master’s & Professional Programs will hold a First-Gen Grad and Med Celebration at the Faculty Club on  Thursday, November 7.
