🦉 First Gen Owls, we want to hear YOUR story!

As University of Maine at Presque Isle (UMPI) prepares for our 8th Annual First-Generation Celebration, we’re celebrating the students, alumni, faculty, and staff who know what it means to be First Gen.

📣 Choose one:

🪽 “Why I’m First”
Why does being First Gen matter to you?

💬 “What I Wish I’d Known”
What advice would you give another First Gen student?

Share your story through a 15–30 second vertical video, photo + quote, or short written testimonial. Your words could be exactly what another First Gen Owl needs to hear.

Selected stories will be shared during UMPI First-Generation Celebration Week, Nov. 2–6.

Because being first doesn’t mean going it alone. 🦉

Be First. Share Your Story. Help the Next Owl Take Flight.
