First-generation college students are important to the UMSI community. As a way to celebrate our first-gen students, faculty, staff and alumni, we are planning a special celebration dinner for our UMSI first-gen community on Thursday, November 6th from 5:30-7:00 PM ET, sponsored by the UMSI Development and Alumni Relations team.According to the University of Michigan's Office of Academic Multicultural Initiatives, "a first-generation college student is a student whose parents did not complete a four-year college degree. This may include students who have siblings in college, students whose parents received an associate’s degree, or students whose parents received their degree outside of the U.S." We welcome those that self-identify as first-gen via their own personal definition to also complete this form.Please register by Friday, October 31st.If you have any questions, please email UMSI Academic Success at umsi.academicsuccess@umich.edu.
