On Thursday, November 6, 2025, at 6:30 PM on the first floor of Sangren Hall, a campus event titled First-Generation College Student Celebration is happening. A first-generation college student is typically known as a student whose parents or guardians have not completed a four-year bachelor's degree. This is an event to honor that population of students, but we welcome all current Broncos (faculty and staff included, especially first-gens!) to join the celebration and show their support. The event intends to spotlight our first-generation college student presence at WMU and the strong community of support for that population on campus. There will be food, prizes, and learning/socializing activities.
