Get ready for one of the most inspiring and high-energy events of the semester — First-Generation Fest! This annual celebration shines a spotlight on the incredible contributions of Georgia State’s first-gen students, who make up the very fabric of our Panther community. This year’s theme is all about denim — a perfect symbol of strength, resilience, and authenticity. Just like denim, our first-gen students are durable, adaptable, and timeless — representing the spirit of hard work and pride that defines Georgia State.

Come out and celebrate with a full day of fun, learning, and community! Explore interactive “how-to” sessions designed to help you navigate college life, connect with career and support services that have your back, and visit info booths highlighting campus resources for success. Between activities, enjoy great food, music, games, giveaways, and the chance to meet fellow students, mentors, and staff who are cheering you on every step of the way.

Whether you’re first-gen or simply proud to support the movement, throw on your favorite denim and join us for a day that celebrates perseverance, pride, and the power of being first!
