Celebrate First-Gen Day on Nov. 8

On Tuesday, Nov. 8, UND will be celebrating First-Gen Day in recognition and support of our many first-generation students.

About 20% of the UND student body is classified as first-gen, meaning their parent(s) or legal guardian(s) have not completed a bachelor’s degree. UND offers a robust set of services in support of these students, which will be highlighted at the First-Gen Day celebration.

Whether you are first-gen or not, all faculty and staff are encouraged to show their support and help us build a culture of awareness and celebration for first-gen students by wearing a “First to Fly” shirt on Nov. 8. If you are interested in receiving a shirt, please fill out the Qualtrics survey by Sept. 30.
