This year we are featuring 1st Gen folx in our community. We've gathered stories from staff, faculty and students and will be displaying the stories in a digital campaign across the medical school and social media.
2020 First-Generation College Celebration
Stanford University will have a week-long Social Media campaign #CelebrateFirstGen on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Partners across campus have joined efforts to grow this campaign this year. The posts will feature stories of FLI Faculty, Staff, Alumni, Students, and Allies from Stanford. In addition, we will have an online celebration Friday, November 6th during our FLI Friday event celebrating #CelebrateFirstGen. We will have games and raffles as well as break out rooms for sharing stories and celebrating community.
