Celebrating First-Generation Faculty

Register here

Each November the UW observes a National First-Generation College Celebration to recognize the accomplishments of first-generation students, staff, and faculty. This year we’re excited to invite you to join the Office of Faculty Affairs and the Office of Healthcare Equity for a virtual event celebrating the achievements and experiences of first-generation faculty across the UW School of Medicine on Tuesday November 10th.

This gathering will feature a faculty panel where you can hear personal stories of resilience, creativity, and leadership from faculty who were the first in their families to earn a degree, including UW Provost Dr. Tricia Serio. Community members will also discuss future opportunities to support and strengthen connections among first-generation faculty across UW Medicine. You can find more information on National First-Generation College Celebrations at the University of Washington online.

This event is open to all community members. Register now to join us for this celebration and community conversation!
