Pitt will host its inaugural First Generation College Celebration Week, starting Nov. 6. The events are part of the First at Pitt initiative from the Office of the Provost.

Panels and social events will connect and support students who are the first in their immediate family to attend college. Faculty and staff who are not first-generation themselves but are committed to supporting first-gen students can become First at Pitt Advocates.
