1st Gen Celebration Week 2024

Come enjoy some brunch and share First-Gen experiences with other First-Gen students, faculty, and staff.

The transition from student to professional can be difficult if you don’t already have a support network. Join us to learn about potential barriers and strategies to address concerns as you transition from college to career. Learn about barriers identified for First Gen Professionals and connect with other first gen students. This workshop is hosted during National 1st Gen Student Celebration week.

This event will be available via Zoom as well as in person at the Stockton campus.

Spend an afternoon with author and Poet, Aideed Medina. Join us to learn Flor y Canto poetry and writing tips and techniques and share your work with others in a safe space.

Join us for a fun night of Karaoke! Welcoming soloists and group performances with the songs of your choice. Free food and drinks provided, just bring your talent and some friends!
