    First-generation students celebratedFirst-generation Penn College students are invited to visit the LEAP Center on Tuesday afternoon as part of the National First-Generation College Celebration.

    In conjunction with that national event, championed every Nov. 8, the LEAP Center (Davie Jane Gilmour Center, first floor) will show "s'more" appreciation to its first-generation students. From 2-4 p.m. Tuesday, first-generation students are encouraged to have a s'more, grab a button and share their experiences.

    The date coincides with the anniversary of the 1965 signing of the Higher Education Act, which emerged from President Lyndon B. Johnson’s War on Poverty and ushered in programs crucial to postsecondary access, retention and completion.
