Join us for the I AM FIRST week of celebration, Nov. 6-10. Several programs will be held across the Kent State system to honor and celebrate students who will be the first in their family to earn a bachelor's degree. In addition to recognizing first-generation students, we will celebrate staff, faculty and advocates for their accomplishments and support of the first-generation student journey.
