First Generation Celebration Day - NMU Events and Announcements

First Generation Celebration Day

NMU will use Wednesday, November 8 as a day to applaud the efforts of first-gen students. We hope all first-gen students, faculty, and staff will gather with us at the Wildcat statue outside of Jamrich at 12:00 pm to honor the hard fought success of all first-gen students. Immediately following the 12:00 pm Wildcat photo, all in attendance are invited to join us for pizza, cookies, and games with prizes in the Hedgcock Atrium. 

If your parent(s) or legal guardian(s) have not completed a bachelor's degree, then you are considered a first generation college student. On average, about 35% of NMU students are first generation college students.
