the way for others. Let’s celebrate their contributions and inspire future generations.
For 2023’s First-Generation Week celebration, we asked students to share what it means to be a first-generation student (or First Osprey), how it impacted their college experience and what support they have received since choosing Stockton University for #StocktonVoices.
