Are you the first in your family to attend college? A first-generation student is someone whose parents or guardians did not earn a college degree. First-generation students make up nearly one-quarter of our campus enrollment, and many of our faculty and staff were also first-generation college graduates. Together, we’re building a strong, supportive, and successful Bobcat community and we want to celebrate YOU!

Join us for From First to Forever: Celebrating First-Generation Students, a special event honoring the achievements, pride, and journeys of first-generation students, faculty, and staff at OHIO Eastern. Enjoy empowering stories from fellow first-gen Bobcats, connect with campus resources, and share a complimentary luncheon with students, faculty, and staff who support this thriving community.
