2019 First-Generation College Celebration

While first-generation students, faculty, and staff have always been an important part of the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) community, celebrations in conjunciton with National First-Generation College Student Day have been limited to a STEM panel held by UAF's Student Support Services in conjunction with Alaska EPSCoR. Building on UAF's designation as a First-Gen Forward institution, Student Support Services and the Nanook Diversity and Action Center have partnered to create a week-long celebration of first-gen students and employees at UAF.
