Event Description:
If you’ve ever heard “First-Gen” and went 😅🫠🤔… this is for you. Join TRIO and BMCC as we celebrate our First-Generation students, staff, and alumni—the trailblazers who are the first in their families to attend college. Hear powerful stories from President Browning, Jordan Monaco and Derek Bettinson as they share their journeys and what being “First-Gen” truly means.

Come for the conversation, connection, and celebration—and stay for a few surprises.
