Topics will include human trafficking, housing and homelessness, traditional doula services, substance use treatment, secondary traumatic stress, missing and murdered indigenous women and people, and more!
NMU will use Friday, 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 12:00pm to honor the hard fought success of all first-gen students. Immediately following the 12:00pm Wildcat photo, all are invited to join us for cookies, prizes, and a photo booth in the 1318 Jamrich Lobby from 12:30pm to 3:00pm.
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. For more information, email firstgen@nmu.edu, or stop by the Dean of Students Office.
