Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim November 8, 2026, as First-Generation College Graduate Day in the State of New York

This bill directs the Governor of New York to officially recognize November 8, 2026, as First-Generation College Graduate Day. The designation honors the achievements of students whose parents did not earn a bachelor's degree and commemorates the anniversary of the 1965 Higher Education Act. By establishing this specific date, the resolution aims to celebrate academic success and highlight the contributions of these graduates to the state's economy and communities. The measure is a ceremonial proclamation that does not create new laws or alter existing policies.
