The First-Gen+ Center is excited to announce our First-Gen Week, celebrating, centering, and empowering our first-generation Patriots!

Kicking off on Monday, November 4th, the First-Gen+ Center has planned a host of events celebrating our first-generation college students here at Mason. Students, faculty, and staff are welcome to all events as we center the narratives and experiences or our students through open discussion, community building, and meaningful engagement.
