Were you a first generation student at Knox?

Every year as part of our Commencement festivities, Knox hosts a reception to honor the graduating seniors who are first-generation students. We're #KnoxProud of all our first-gen students and alumni. In observance of the National First-Gen Celebration on November 8, we'd love to hear about what it's meant to you to be a first-gen student at Knox.

Please tell us about your experiences, the challenges you overcame, and what advice you have for other first-gen students by emailing us at engage@knox.edu.
