First-generation students at the College of Southern Nevada (CSN) are invited to participate in the First-Gen Fall Festival on November 1. The event will take place from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the North Las Vegas campus.

The festival is designed to celebrate first-generation students and their unique journey through higher education. It offers activities such as pumpkin carving and seasonal snacks, encouraging participants to embrace the autumn season with friends and family.

The festival aims to create a supportive environment for students who are navigating college as the first in their families. It provides an opportunity for these students to connect with peers who share similar experiences.

“Come hang with us at CSN’s First-Gen Fall Festival,” organizers said, inviting attendees to bring their school spirit and enjoy the festivities.

Organizers emphasize that this celebration is dedicated to honoring the special community of first-gen students at CSN, acknowledging their efforts in blazing new trails in education.
