The UW honors National First-Gen College Celebration Day every early November! In this regard, first-generation graduate students are cordially invited to attend a free, online welcome event. All first-gen grad students from across tri-campus are welcome.
A first-gen graduate student is in the first generation of their family to earn a Bachelor’s degree—and currently working towards a graduate degree.

- Guest Speaker: Jessica Kong, First-Gen College Student, Doctoral Student in Chemistry, and UW Clean Energy Institute Graduate Fellow.
At this event, you will:
- Hear insights and perspectives from UW first-gen faculty and grad student guest speakers
- Learn about strategies that will support your success in grad school
- Build community with first-gen peers from across the disciplines
- Have a chance to win an e-gift card!
