North Country Community College has launched a new effort to connect with, support, and celebrate first-generation college students — those who are the first in their families to pursue higher education.
Earlier this month, the college hosted its inaugural series of First-Generation Student Celebrations across all three campus locations: Nov. 5 at the Malone campus, Nov. 6 in Saranac Lake, and Nov. 10 in Ticonderoga. Each gathering featured opportunities for students, faculty, and staff to come together in recognition of the resilience, hard work, and achievements of the college’s First Gen community.
