Alright, STOP! COLLABORATE & LISTEN!
Please block some time on your calendar on November 7th for CELEBRATE 1st GEN!
We need your support at our OPEN MIC
Hosted by CCAP & TRIO

Monday, November 7th
11:30am – 1:30pm
3rd floor Student Life Center

ALL Students, Faculty & Staff are Encouraged to Participate!
*Sing (karaoke style or acapella) * Read an inspiring poem or quote*
*Share your Story about being a 1st Generation College Student *
This is very impactful for our current students to hear.

Sing with a student – there is a prize for the best duet involving a Student & Faculty/Staff!

(The US Dept of Education defines 1st Gen as a situation where neither of a student’s parents/guardians have earned a Bachelor’s degree. So, a student doesn’t necessarily have to be the 1st in their family to GO to college to be 1st Gen. By this definition, almost 50% or more of our students are 1st Gen!)
