Join us in celebrating and supporting Augustana’s first-generation students! A first-generation college student is someone whose parents or guardians have not completed a four-year degree. These students are often the first in their families to navigate the college experience, and your presence can make a powerful difference.

This event is open to all alumni — whether you’re first-gen yourself or simply want to connect with and encourage today’s students.

Highlights include:

  • Bingo and vision board crafting

  • Lunch, photo ops, and community

  • Speed Mentorship Rounds — share your story and offer guidance to empower first-gen students

Your participation will help students feel seen, supported, and inspired as they pursue their goals.

Registration is no longer available because the registration deadline has passed.
