Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute's First-Generation College Celebration
November 8

2022 First-Generation College Celebration

Rensselaer is offering opportunities for First Gen. students to tell us "why they are first" throughout the day, at locations across campus - in exchange for #1 cookies. Students' notes are being brought together that evening at a campus-wide reception for students, faculty, and staff, where students will be able to use create AI generated images of their future. More information is available on our website.

For the latest updates on this celebration, follow @RPI and @RPISuccess on Twitter and @RPIStudentLife on Facebook and use #RPIFirst to show your support!
