Hi Monarch Faculty & Staff, 

As we approach graduation, we take this opportunity to recognize and celebrate the accomplishments of our first-generation students. 

Graduating as a first-generation college student is a significant milestone that reflects resilience, dedication, and perseverance. Throughout their journey, many of our students have been supported and guided by our faculty and staff members who have contributed meaningfully to their success. 

As our First-Gen Monarchs prepare to cross the stage, we invite you to take part in this celebration. If you would like to send a message to a first-generation Monarch, please submit your message no later than April 22. 

Submit your message here:  

Messages will be printed and shared with students during Grad Week (April 27–May 1) as part of their recognition. 

Your words — whether brief or reflective — serve as a meaningful acknowledgment of the impact you have had on our students’ journeys. 

Thank you for your continued commitment to supporting student success. 

With Monarch Pride, 
CORE
