First-Gen Week is a celebration of Texas Tech’s first-generation college students, packed with engaging and supportive events designed to help you thrive! From November 4th-8th, join us for a variety of activities that connect you with fellow first-gen students, staff, and resources to enhance your college experience. Whether you’re looking for community, academic insight, or just some fun, First-Gen Week has something for everyone.

Every year, Texas Tech joins colleges and universities across the nation for the National First-Generation College Celebration on November 8. Here, we go beyond just one day—we dedicate an entire week to honor the dedication, resilience, and accomplishments of our first-gen Red Raiders.
