This week each year we celebrate first-generation students, faculty and staff who are trailblazers in their families. First – But Never Alone! Join in the festivities as we kick off UT’s 4th Annual First-Generation Student Celebration Week with a community meet-up, a catered lunch, and lots of free first-gen swag. The First-Generation Initiative creates opportunities for academic, career, social, and cultural engagement for first-gen scholars throughout their academic journey.
