It means a student whose parents did not earn a four-year degree. Did you know? More than one-third of the Warhawks on the Whitewater campus and more than one-half on the Rock County campus are first-generation! The annual First-Generation College Celebration on November 8th commemorates the signing of the Higher Education Act of 1965. It promotes post-secondary access, retention, and completion for today&#8217;s limited-income, first-generation college students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Join us this week as we Celebrate First Generation! Be sure to follow UW-Whitewater social media pages, for they will share stories of the many Warhawk students, alumni, and campus leaders who are PROUD to be first-generation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignmiddle\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.uww.edu\/images\/library\/blog\/firstgenflier.png\" alt=\"Image with details about First Generation Celebration at Andersen Library\" height=\"150\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s National Celebrate First Generation Week!
