At graduation, we recognize our first-gen graduating seniors (and this year, graduate students) at Commencement with a first-gen cord.
This year, a great idea was brought up to us-- we would like to offer first-gen faculty a cord to wear with their academic regalia.
What a wonderful way to show students our proud first-gen community at both Commencement and at New Student Convocation!
Ithaca College recognizes students (and their siblings) who are the first in their family to attend and graduate from a four-year residential college in the U.S. as first-generation students
