Hello First Gen Supporters,

National First Generation College Celebration Day<https://firstgen.naspa.org/engagement/first-generation-college-celebration> is approaching and takes place November 8th. Traditionally colleges and universities celebrate this all week long and here at UCR we are celebrating November 6-9.

Here are some flyers<https://drive.google.com/file/d/18EvKxXBi2uyPuQ2BeT3BNyx5EF75zYGR/view?usp=sharing> you will see around campus and in the HUB display cases. I encourage you to post them in your office, social media and share with students. We are a campus where over half of our student population is first gen. I'm also happy to say much of our faculty and staff are too! Visit our updated website<https://firstgen.ucr.edu/> to see faculty/staff/student highlights. (Still seeking student submissions<https://forms.gle/B12kh6a1iGMUFLD68>)Something as little as changing your zoom background for the week can spread the word on first gen, but I hope you find a way to celebrate students in your respective spaces.
