Florida Atlantic University’s Office of First-Generation Student Success proudly brings you First & Proud Week 2022, kicking off on November 7^th and running until November 10^th. We celebrate National First-Generation Day (November 8^th) with a full week of engaging programming that can only be made more robust with the contributions of our owl community. With a third of Florida Atlantic’s student population identifying as first-generation, we are encouraging departments/organizations throughout the university to celebrate our first-gen students and their success.

If your department/organization is providing any specific programming for First & Proud Week from 11/7 through 11/10, please provide the event details on the form below by October 27^th, 2022 at 12 p.m. so it can be finalized:
