A Look Back at the First-Generation College Scholar Celebration
Relive the fun from our First-Generation College Scholar Celebration!
PNW celebrated First-Generation College Student Day (November 8) with a week full of celebrations! As a First-Gen Forward institution, PNW is committed to celebrating and uplifting our first-gen students and providing them with the support and tools they need to thrive in college.
This year’s celebrations included First-Generation Student Scholar Celebrations on both campuses, a talk from author Alejandra Campoverdi, a First-Gen Pride Microgrants Panel, a callout meeting for our new Tri-Alpha Honor Society for first-gen students and more!

PNW students celebrate their own and their peer's achievements as fellow first-generation trailblazers!
Attendees to the First-Generation Student Scholar Celebration received foam fingers to show off their first-gen pride!
First-generation students, faculty and staff were invited to join in on a family photo showcasing the PNW first-generation community.
"First Gen: A Memoir" was written by Alejandra Campoverdi as a way to share the story and struggles most first-generation students endure to achieve academic success.
