First Gen Day 2025

November 6, 2025

November 8 marks National First-Generation Student Celebration Day, an annual event that recognizes and celebrates college students who are the first generation in their family to attend a four-year college or university. MHU has traditionally had a large population of first-generation college students, and it is something in which we take great pride. In addition, we have many faculty and staff who are first-generation college graduates themselves. We celebrate with you! Please enjoy this short video message from Brent Townsend, chair of the MHU board of trustees and a proud MHU alum.
