Dean of the College, Libraries at Bard College, and Office of Equity and Inclusion Present

Welcome to First-Generation Appreciation Week 2026!

Welcome to First-Generation Appreciation Week.  Since the Council for Opportunity in Education (COE) and FirstGen Forward (FGF, formerly the Center for First‑Generation Student Success) hosted the inaugural celebration in 2017, colleges and universities, corporations, government leaders, nonprofits, and K–12 schools nationwide have united each year to uplift and honor the first‑generation community. 

Join us in collective action, growing visibility, and unwavering commitment to first‑gen students and their families.  

Sponsored by The Office of the Dean of Inclusive Excellence, The Scale Project, Stevenson Library, Bard Black Student Organization (BSO), Gilson Place, & The Bard Wellness Club.
