November 8, 2025
Being the first in your family to attend or graduate from college is more than an accomplishment; it is a journey filled with courage, resilience, and pride.
Trendsetters cordially invite all first-generation students and their families to celebrate National First-Generation Student Day - November 8, 2025.
Join us in Rector Atrium at 10:00am for a reception followed by a conversation with an alumni panel in Stafford Auditorium (Rector Hall) from 10:30am to 11:30am. Hear from a panel of inspiring first-generation alumni as they reflect on their Dickinson paths, the challenges they overcame, and the ways they’ve carried those lessons forward into their careers and communities.
