Join us for a first-gen celebration dinner in the Ehrlicher Room and wear your First-Gen @ UMSI t-shirt. Those students, faculty, staff and alumni who identify as first-gen are welcome to attend. RSVP here by October 23.

According to the University of Michigan's Office of Academic Multicultural Initiatives, "a first-generation college student is a student whose parents did not complete a four-year college degree. This may include students who have siblings in college, students whose parents received an associate’s degree, or students whose parents received their degree outside of the U.S." We welcome those that self-identify as first-gen via their own personal definition to also attend.
