Please join Flagship First-Gen, the First-Gen Student Network, UM School of Law, and UM Graduate School as we celebrate the First-Gen Evening of Excellence. This event will recognize and celebrate the achievements of graduating First-Gen students at the University of Mississippi. First-Gen Students are those whose parents or primary guardian have not earned a bachelor's degree. This designation also includes students who are the first in their families to graduate with advanced degrees such as a Juris Doctorate, PhD, EdD, Doctor of Arts, or Specialist degree. 

Students will receive recognition on Monday, April 27, 2026, which will take place in the Student Union Ballroom at 5:30 PM.
