Join the First-Gen OWU Community!

As we begin a new academic year, I extend a warm invitation to all students to become part of the First-Gen OWU Community. Whether you’re a first-gen student or someone passionate about supporting your peers, your unique experiences and perspectives are essential to building a strong network that uplifts our entire community.

Being a part of the First-Gen OWU Community means you’ll have access to a range of benefits, including:

1. Connections: Connect with faculty, staff, and fellow students who share your experiences and passions.
2. Support: Gain access to resources, mentorship, and guidance to help you excel academically and personally.
3. Events: Be the first to know about exciting events, workshops, and activities designed to enhance your college journey.

To get started, complete the First-Gen OWU Student Information Form. By filling out this brief form, you’ll not only become a part of our community but also ensure that you receive the latest news and updates about upcoming First-Gen OWU events. You can access the form at bit.ly/FirstGenStudent. You must be logged into your OWU Google account to access the form.
