Get involved
All divisions, schools, offices, and programs across IUPUI are invited to participate in the celebration in whatever way they can. You might hold an event, send a special note to your first-generation students, highlight a student or two on social media, or set up a table somewhere on campus to hand out swag. You can even share your own story of being a first-generation student!

First-Generation Week Committee
Ready to do even more? Join IUPUI’s first-generation committee to explore the experiences of first-generation students and to continue shaping our campus to be a welcoming and supportive environment for students who are first in their families to attend college. While the weeklong celebration is important and a part of the committee’s focus, we are also committed to the other 51 weeks in the year and all of the experiences that students have.
