First Generation College Student Day

Barry is proud of our many first gen students. We celebrate First Gen Student Day by hosting an event with fun activities, food, conversation, and more. Students also have the opportunity to get to know various First Gen faculty and staff that are available to support them throughout their college journey. Am I first-gen student? Being a first-gen student usually means that your parents did not complete a 4-year college or university degree. If your parents took a few college classes or even completed community college, you will often be considered first-gen. Many colleges and universities are also beginning to consider students with parents who attended international universities as first-gen.
