The day honors students that who are categorized first-generation or are the first in their families to attend college. Generally, students are considered first-generation if their parents do not have four-year degrees.

To celebrate the holiday, USC Sumter is planning a week-long celebration with a variety of events for students November 4 – 8. The week will culminate on Friday, November 7, 5 – 9 p.m., with a First-Generation Block Party that will be held in CCTC’s parking lot at 506 N Guignard Dr. The Block Party is a free community event that will feature a DJ, dancing, and food trucks.
