2021 First-Generation College Celebration

Florida SouthWestern State College is a proud NASPA First-gen Forward Institution. For FSW's inaugural First-Generation Celebration on Nov. 8, 2021, we will be highlighting first-generation students by offering a "Bucs Have your Back" session dedicated to student resource literacy and empowerment. Our keynote speaker for the celebration will be sharing first-generation student success and encouragement as a first-generation high school and college graduate. Finally, we will be hosting a student/staff/faculty first-generation panel and distributing lots of first-gen student/supporter swag throughout the day!
