National First-Generation Picnic Celebration

November 7 @ 11:30 am - 1:30 pm

The University of Florida has long celebrated first-generation college students. In 2018, the Machen Florida Opportunity Scholars Program decided to elevate this national event. Each year on November 8, university units commemorate first-generation students on the anniversary of the 1965 Higher Education Act, which provided grants, loans, and resources to support their education.

The campus-wide National First-Generation Picnic Celebration is an opportunity for first-generation students to be celebrated, get a t-shirt, network, and meet other first-generation students.
