We are so excited to celebrate during the National First-Generation College Celebration on Tuesday, November 8, 2022! Being the first in your family to get a 4-year college degree - being a first-generation student - is something to be proud of. In fall 2021 first-generation students made up 22% of undergraduate students at Oregon State University in Corvallis and Ecampus and 25% in Bend - that's over 6,000 students! Please join us at two events celebrating first-generation students held at the SEC Plaza and Valley Library between 12 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. on November 8, and contribute your voice to the growing presence of first-gen students at OSU.
Accommodation requests related to a disability should be made by November 1 to the First! Committee by emailing [email protected].
Drop by the First! table in the SEC Plaza to get creative and add your story of being the first in your family to go to college for the First-Gen Shared Mural Project!

The final mural project will be displayed on the 3rd floor of Waldo Hall.
