HRES 854 United States House · 118th Congress

Expressing support for the designation of November 8, 2023, as "National First-Generation College Celebration Day".

This resolution symbolically designates November 8, 2023, as "National First-Generation College Celebration Day" to honor first-generation college students (those whose parents didn't earn bachelor's degrees). It urges all U.S. residents to recognize these students' contributions to the workforce and celebrate the 1965 Higher Education Act, which established key support programs like TRIO and Pell Grants. The resolution has no legal force or funding provisions - it solely expresses support through symbolic recognition. It directly affects educational communities, institutions, and the public by encouraging annual observance of this day.
