Students from the first-gen student center got together and conquered a clean up at Whitaker Park on Saturday🌲🌳

Do you want to experience a basketball game at your university but have no one to go with? No problem! Make sure to tag along this weekend with the First Gen Center crew. This is going to be an intense game and a little stress reliever from school! UNR students enter for free, but make sure to bring your Wolf-card ID. We will all meet up at 7:30 in front of the Joe to walk together to the Lawlors Event Center, Hope to see you there scholars!
